INTRO: Amazing, but true: we've been inventing electronic
instruments and creating electronic music for over 120 years.
Back in 1876, ELISHA GRAY invented the electroharmonic piano;
the instrument transmitted musical tones over wires. In 1906,
THADDEUS CAHILL invented the Dynamophone, also known as the
Telharmonium. It was the first 'additive' synthesizer, producing
music by use of alternating current generators or 'dynamos.'
Inconveniently, it weighed over 200 tons! It was designed to
transmit sound over telephone wires -- unfortunately, they melted.
We've been doing better lately. Today, electronic instruments
are ubiquitous and portable, fueling a worldwide boom in
electronic music. And it reaches us on the air, on nice plastic
discs, and on wires....that don't melt.
