Oskar Sala, early pioneer of electronic instruments

7/18/2022

 
Have you seen today's Google Doodle?  It highlights Oskar Sala, a physicist and composer and early pioneer in electronic instruments.  Here is a good video to introduce you to Oskar playing on the Trautonium.  Sala worked on many film scores with this instrument, and created the non-musical soundtrack for Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds.    He received many awards for his film scores, but never received an Oscar.  In 1995 he donated his original mixture-trautonium to the German Museum for Contemporary Technology.  If you find this quite interesting, as I do, you can read lots about early electronic instruments!  I am rather fond of the sound of the "theremin", have you ever heard of it?  Check it out, and let me know what you think!!
