The father of Techno and Hip Hop and the composer
The father of electronic music wore tweed jackets, had a refined English accent and smoked a pipe.
Tristram Cary, who has died in Adelaide, aged 82, came up with the idea of electronic and tape music while a naval radar officer during World War II.
He founded the electronic music studio at London's Royal College of Music in 1967 and, seven years later, migrated to Australia to establish a similar studio at the University of Adelaide
The Elder Conservatorium of Music head of music technology studies, Stephen Whittington, said Mr Cary's contribution to music was "impossible to quantify".
"He laid the foundations," Mr Whittington said today.
Where would the ecstasy market be without him? I wonder if they will have a rave instead of a wake?

He doesn't quite fit the image, somehow!
OT - you should have a go at the Name That...Thing competition this week, I think you'll find it's right up your alley ;)
If asked before reading this where techno and hip hop originated from, I would of ignorantly said USA.
I liked the old Dr. Who, Tom Pertwee.
My brother and I were scared of the Daleks and hid behind the couch.
John Pertwee m'dear.
He is about the same age as my Dad. I just don't associated techno and rap with that generation. He like Dame Nellie Melba, Caruso and Edith Piaf.
Well I hope he made his fortune but it's probably unlikely. I wonder what he thought of where it all progressed.
Sorry to break it, but the Doctor Who theme was composed by Ron Grainer (another Australian) and realised by Delia Derbyshire. I'm a fan of Delia Derbyshire so I couldn't let this past! :-) According to Wikipedia, Tristram Cary wrote music for Doctor Who, but it wasn't the theme tune.
Good work DoctorVee, but the Daleks were still scary.
What's up colleagues, its fantastic article about educationand fully defined, keep it up all the time.
