Some excerpts for the archive:
"St., presents a new exhibit, "Harald Bode, A Lifetime for Sound," which opens to the public on Saturday, from 1 to 4 p.m., and runs through summer.

"A Lifetime for Sound" is a retrospective of physicist Harald Bode and his contributions to electronic music. This is a 50-year survey in image and sound recordings, documenting the contributions of Bode, one of the great pioneers of electronic sound.

Harald Bode (1909-1987) was an electronic musical instrument design pioneer. His career spanned 50 years of innovation. In 1937, he built his Warbo Formant electronic organ which had capabilities similar to those found in modern synthesizers....

In 1960, Bode presented his Modular Synthesizer and Sound Processor at the Convention of the Audio Engineering Society. With this landmark presentation, he ushered in the era of the analog modular synthesizer. Bob Moog was in attendance and inspired by Bode’s concept of the modular sound studio. This led to the development of the Moog Synthesizer...

The Bode (Moog) Vocoder (1977) was a particular success and is noted for its unique sound. It can be found on hit records of the era including the 1979 Lipps Inc., megahit, "Funkytown." Among the many artists who purchased the instrument were musician Michael Boddicker, who used it on Michael Jackson’s 1982 record-breaking album, 'Thriller.'"
