I'm not looking for people like Walter Murch, Ben Burtt, etc. people who create brilliant sound FX for movies and TV
I'm talking about the people who create musical sounds that are used in countless records and movies. And sell them today to consumers.
I realize that there are people who create hardware, like Robert Moog, who also make patches.
There are legends like Suzanne Ciani and Wendy Carlos, but to my knowledge, they don't have stores.
I would put Eric Persing first. I think his sounds are on more hit records and major movies than anybody else.
After that, off the top of my head, I can think of (in no particular order):
Robert Moog
John Lehmkuhl
Urs Heckmann (u-he)
Simon Stockhausen
Matt Bowdler (The Unfinished)
Nori Ubukata
Tom Wolfe
AAS designers: Daniel Stawczyk, Christian Lafitte, Richard Devine, etc.
This is not to show off any knowledge that I possess--I'm sure I'm leaving out some really important people. I'm jsut curious to find out about people like this and learn more about them.
Honestly, I don't know who created all the famous patches for the DX7, M1 and others, aside from Persing (who worked on Roland stuff) and Lehmkuhl (who worked on many Korg synths, so enlighten me.
Thanks!
I think this would make a good documentary. These people have a huge impact on the culture, but the general public doesn't know their names.
