Michelle Moog-Koussa recently wrote an article on EM's 25th anniversary. Her father, Bob Moog, and the Bob Moog Foundation are of course mentioned. The following is a brief excerpt."At the time that EM came into being in 1975, electronic music may have been in its toddler stages, but Bob had already been coaxing sound from electricity for more than 20 years. At age 14, he began building Theremins with his father. Five years later, he wrote his first article, titled 'The Theremin,' which was published in the January 1954 issue of Radio and Television News. A demand for Theremin parts and kits followed, and R.A. Moog was founded in the basement of Bob’s parent’s house. He was 19 years old."
