Switched-On Bach caught the attention of my father, Fredric, a noted orchestra conductor and music educator. In my teenage years, we had many conversations about the nature of music, and now our talks broadened to include technology. Shortly before his own death in 1970, he told me of a strong feeling he had, that one day I would combine my interests in computers and music. This conversation, a direct result of Moog's work, was very much on my mind when I founded Kurzweil Music Systems in 1982.

Someone needs to fact check Ray a bit more in this article (Theremin's name?), but it's touching nonetheless and I believe it can't be overstated how important Bob Moog was to music, culture, and ultimately expression.
