Early electronic music is super fascinating. You can hear echoes of those early artists from nearly a century ago in lots of modern ambient, industrial and experimental electronic genres.
Yeah I was surprised too. It's amazing what you can find when you start researching. Mind you, finding a book on the history was not easy. No, I do NOT want to know how to play it! No, I do NOT want to know how to fix it! No I do NOT want engineering schematics for it. God damn it!

Think yer ma would have allowed you to have a telharmonium in your bedroom when you were a kid?
