Technology drives the art of music.
That’s a theme of Robert Margouleff’s new book, Shaping Sounds: Stevie Wonder, Devo, The Synth Revolution of My Life Behind the Music, published by Jawbone Press. It’s also available as an audio book from Pushkin.
Margouleff, in partnership with fellow producer Malcolm Cecil, created TONTO (The Original New Timbral Orchestra) synthesizer. The book chronicles how artists like Stevie Wonder and Devo were able to use this new technology to explore new possibilities for both their music and their perspectives on life.
Written in a conversational style, it’s an easy read. You don’t need to be an audio geek or a musician to follow along.
In this interview, Robert Margouleff not only shares his technical knowledge and experience, but also his commitment to social justice and equality. He is as authentic and genuine a person that you will meet.
