Switched-On Bach and the Moog Synthesizer Pioneer
Walter Carlos and Walter Folkman’s Switched-On Bach brings the Moog synthesizer to the fore in a major 1969 hit that blends Bach’s motifs with electronic panels and patch cords. Robert Moog, a New Yorker educated at Queens College, Columbia, and Cornell, leads the firm behind this revolution, hosting lecture weekends at his Trumansburg facility to demystify transient versus random generators in electronic sound design.

Britisher writes westerns but has never seen range
John T. Edson, a Briton living in Melton Mowbray, writes Western pulp novels he has never visited. His fifty-one books sold nearly two million copies by age 40, aided by a backstory of army service and a postman career. He models Dusty Fog after Audie Murphy, uses gadgetry like a poison ring, and aims for action over realism while expanding into Europe and the United States.
