Metamatic Forums Socialising The Green Room American Synth Players ?

Seen Thomas and Howard there too. That clip looked like the synth version of 'The Prince's Trust'.

I never saw that clip before. Thanks for the link.

You can also hear him play Foggy Mountain and Ramblin' Man on his early albums.

But thanks for the link. I also found this . Its something I'd never seen before.

Unfortunately, no. But if someone can rattle off a few names, I'm sure it will come back to me, though.

Ah, I know it would come to me if I kept thinking about it. It was Todd Rundgren . Although I'm not sure now if he only played synths or not.

I was venturing to say that Raymond Scott was the first American to pioneer Electronic music

Just read this thread and can't believe no one's mentioned Ron Mael.

indeed we can't forget Ron!
or
Laurie Anderson

I hadn't heard of him before so I looked him up. He seems to predate Louis & Bebe Barron.
I also found this while I was looking. How could I forget The Residents!

However, the history of synthesized music goes back even further !
I'd read about the Theremin ages ago but forgot all about it until now.

I am a theremin enthusiast!One of the bands I play in uses theremin as the main instrument!They also made cellos and violins and other experimental type theremins...Id love to have one!
