EP170: Ned Augustenborg

Today’s enlightening episode of Electronically Yours features documentary maker Ned Augustenborg, who has made a fascinating film about an unrecognised hero of electronic music Don Lewis. Don Lewis was an American vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, and electronic engineer. He created an instrument called the Live Electronic Orchestra (LEO), which integrated multiple instruments under a controller system and predated the MIDI controller by ten years. He was also a close advisor for the Roland Corporation, and helped conceive the original design of the TR 808 drum machine. The film is entitled 'DON LEWIS and The Live Electronic Orchestra' and is an astounding story. Ladies and gentlemen - these are tales of a true innovator - meet Ned Augustenborg...
