Robert Moog's 78th birthday celebrated in Google doodle

Happy Birthday Bob Moog.

Music pioneer Robert Moog, who would have been 78 on Wednesday, has been celebrated with a Google Doodle,

Google has marked the birthday of music pioneer Robert Moog by creating a 'Doodle' in the form of an interactive electronic synthesiser which can be played by clicking on its keys using a cursor.

Although musical synthesisers already existed, Moog transformed pop music during the 1960s by producing and marketing a small keyboard synth which could be used with relative ease.

Bands including the Beatles and the Doors used the Moog synthesiser, while others later became fans of the Minimoog, a stripped-down version which followed it in the 1970s.

The New Yorker, who would have turned 78 on Wednesday, had been encouraged to dabble in electronics from an early age by his father and built his first electronic instrument, a theremin, at the age of 14

The pair started their own company in 1954 to sell theremin kits by mail order. After studying at the Bronx High School of Science, Moog attended Queens College before graduating in electrical engineering at Columbia University and earning a doctorate in engineering physics at Cornell.

Of the Moog synthesiser, which appeared in 1964, the inventor was to later recall: 'I didn't know what the hell I was doing. I was doing this thing to have a good time, then all of a sudden someone'.

    Interactive ROBERT MOOG Google Doodle.

    Robert Moog — who revolutionized music with his synthesizers — got an interactive Google Doodle Wednesday on what would be his 78th birthday.


    Peter Morgan / Reuters files
    Robert Moog speaks with reporters in New York on January 22, 2001, after it was announced that Moog would receive the Polar Music Prize.
    Moog, born in New York City May 23, 1934, took interests in both music and electronics at an early age with the encouragement of his parents. By the time he was 14, he’d built his first theremin. By the time he was 19, he’d started a company — R.A. Moog Co. — which produced mail-order theremin kits for hobbyists.

    Moog sold 1,000 of the kits, despite the fact he was working from his three-room apartment.

    After success with his theremins, and completing a PhD at Cornell University in engineering physics, Moog began experimenting with his own electronic instrument designs.

    In 1964, he developed the first voltage-controlled subtractive synthesizer to make use of a keyboard.

    The device found early success with commercial musicians — often appearing in ads — but soon caught on with mainstream artists — notably the Beatles, the Doors and the Rolling Stones.

    The Minimoog, a much smaller and more portable unit, was released in the 1970s and became widely used across the musical spectrum.

    Moog died in Augu

    Saul Bass (May 8, 1920 -- April 25, 1996) was an American graphic designer and filmmaker, best known for his design of motion picture title sequences, film posters, and corporate logos.

    During his 40-year career Bass worked for some of Hollywood's most prominent filmmakers, including Alfred Hitchcock, Otto Preminger, Billy Wilder, Stanley Kubrick and Martin Scorsese. Among his most famous title sequences are the animated paper cut-out of a heroin addict's arm for Preminger's The Man with the Golden Arm, the credits racing up and down what eventually becomes a high-angle shot of a skyscraper in Hitchcock's North by Northwest, and the disjointed text that races together and apart in Psycho.

    Bass designed some of the most iconic corporate logos in North America, including the AT&T 'bell' logo in 1969, as well as AT&T's 'globe' logo in 1983 after the breakup of the Bell System. He also designed Continental Airlines' 1968 'jetstream' logo and United Airlines' 1974 'tulip' logo which became some of the most recognized airline industry logos of the era. Google honored Saul Bass by featuring him in a Google Doodle on May 8, 2013.

    Jagjit Singh's 72nd birthday celebrated by Google doodle

    Jagjit Singh, popular Indian Ghazal singer, is the subject of Friday's Google doodle.

    Jagjit Singh was born Jagmohan Singh in Sri Ganganagar, Rajasthan, India on 8 February 1941. His musical talent was spotted at an early age and his father encouraged him to learn music from prominent talents of the time. In 1965, at age 24, he decided to head to Bombay to try and make a career in music.

    In Mumbai Singh met Chitra Dutta, who was unhappily married at the time. She went on to divorce her husband and married Singh in 1969, paving the way for one of India's most popular singing duets to be united in personal life. The couple started singing ghazals, a form of singing that originated in 6th century Arabic verse. It wasn't until 1976, with the album The Unforgettables, that the couple received any kind of recognition or success.

    Ghazal singing is a very old Indian tradition, but it was Jagjit Singh who is credited with taking ghazals to the mainstream audience, beyond its core set of fans. Amongst the earliest popular ghazal singers was Ustad Barkat Ali, but it's likely there were many others before him whose names have not been preserved due to lack of historical records. Later on singers like Begum Akhtar and Ustad Mehdi Hassan took ghazals from classical singing to something that had a wider appeal. Others like Ustad Amanat Ali Khan, Begum Akhtar, Mehdi Hassan, Ghulam Ali, and of course, Jagjit Singh, followed suit
