Description
Keith Emerson (2 November 1944 – 11 March 2016) was an English musician, unsurpassed pianist and composer.
Keith became internationally famous for his work with the Nice, which included writing rock arrangements of classical music. After leaving the Nice in 1970, he was a founding member of Emerson, Lake & Palmer (ELP), one of the early progressive rock supergroups, becoming one of the best-known progressive rock groups of the '70. He gave a fundamental contribution to the development of synthesizers because he provided Robert Moog with the directives to develop the instruments.
He committed suicide when he became convinced he had lost his magical touch.

Wow! Now here is something you don't see everyday ( anymore )....The Moog Synthesizer! I was a big fan of its sound back in the 70's. Still have all my vinyl albums. Kids today don't even know what this is. Great capture here of Keith Emerson playing the Moog. Also...love your description. Though so sad that he took his own life. I never knew that Keith contributed to the development of synthesizers. So talented he was! I love ELP! And Kraftwerk....Autobahn....a German group. I am sure you've heard of them. L/F

Thank you so much, Deborah! I'm a photographer but I love to play electronic music in my free time. Today is pretty easy! You can build your own virtual synthesizer if you have a computer with enough power using the VCV module (which most are for free) and patching with virtual cable. check this site https://vcvrack.com/Rack
