Doug McKechnie

Doug McKechnie (born 1941) is an American musician, known for his work with the Moog synthesizer. McKechnie was highly active in the San Francisco music scene from 1968 to 1972, when he was forced to stop playing his synthesizer after it was sold. McKechnie was a contemporary of Wendy Carlos and has been labelled a pioneer of early electronic music, although his work remained underground until the 2020s. His sequencer-based style of music influenced future performers, including Tangerine Dream to whom his Moog was sold.
