Bruce Haack (1931 - 1988) was a Canadian musician, undoubtedly one of the pioneers of electronic music during the 50's and 60's.
Prolific composer behind a huge span of wildy creative, from electronic
childrens songs to satanic music, as well as being an inventor of weird
musical instruments like the Theremin-inspired Magic Wand and the
Dermatron, a device that worked off the natural conductivity of the
human body.
Bruce Haack robotic songs were a precedent to the work of Synth Pop
artists from the 70's such as Kraftwerk and Gary Numan, and his
quasy-psychedelic electronic music was a clear influence in the Space
Rock music.
