"'Synthesis: An Introduction to the History, Theory, & Practice of Electronic Music' book by Herbert A. Deutsch.

Printed in 1976. Softcover. 140 Pages.

This is an amazing book about analog synthesizers and early electronic music written by electronic music pioneer Herbert A. Deutsch, a close friend of Bob Moog, who even collaborated with Bob Moog on the first prototype of the Moog Modular Synthesizer.

This book is filled with tons of great information on analog synthesis, analog synthesizers, the amazing people that built them, and the musicians that first used them. A great book for anyone interested in the beginnings of electronic music.

There are a lot of awesome pictures of vintage synthesizers like the original Moog Synthesizer prototype, Moog Sonic VI, The MiniMoog, Moog Satellite, Moog Model 12 Modular Synthesizer, ARP Pro-Soloist, ARP Odyssey, ARP 2600, ARP Modular Synthesizer, EMS Synthi, EMS Synthi 100, and The Roland Series 100 Modular Synthesizer!

Also pictures of synthesizer pioneers Bob Moog, Herbert A. Deutsch, and Wendy Carlos!"

  1. Synth book auctions on eBay never cease to surprise me. This book is already at $18 but there are at least three copies available (the '76 and '86 editions)on half.com or amazon used for about $7....go figure
