Moog.

In 1964, Bob Moog didn’t just create a new instrument—he ignited a revolution in music. Working at first from his father’s basement in Queens, New York, Moog created the world’s first voltage-controlled modular synthesizer modules.

He worked closely with experimental composer Herbert Deutsch, and this partnership—a direct collaboration between engineer and musician—would help define how Moog and his company would approach instrument design far into the future. “I’m an engineer,” Moog once said. “I see myself as a toolmaker and the musicians are my customers. They use my tools.”
