From the studio to the living room

The evolution of analog synthesis revolutionized music. In the 1950s, electronic sound was confined to research labs and large-scale studios, where avant-garde composers experimented with oscillators and tape machines to craft new sonic landscapes. However, by the 1970s, advancements in technology made analog synthesizers more accessible, bringing them from specialized environments into the hands of musicians and hobbyists.

The rise of digital

Digital synthesizers were pivotal in shaping the sound of Electronic Body Music (EBM) and other genres like synthpop, new wave, and industrial in the 1980s. Instruments such as the Yamaha DX7, Ensoniq SQ80 and Synclavier introduced sharper, more precise tones that suited EBM’s aggressive rhythms and cold, mechanical textures. In synthpop and new wave, these digital synths produced bright, melodic hooks and atmospheric soundscapes, while in industrial music, they fuelled harsh, metallic textures that aligned with its dystopian, abrasive aesthetic.

From hardware to software with Herbie Hancock

In the early 1970s, Hancock began exploring electronic instruments and was particularly intrigued by the Minimoog's expressive capabilities. He was introduced to the Moog synthesisers by Dr. Patrick Gleeson, who used the synthesizer on Hancock's landmark album "Crossings" (1972). However, it was Hancock’s later work, especially with "Headhunters" (1973), that saw him fully embrace the instrument. To this day he revere’s Arturia’s instrument engines for their accuracy and innovation - an artist committed to evolving with the times.
