112th anniversary of the birth of physicist and avant-garde electronic music composer Oskar Sala.
By creating sound effects on a musical device known as a mixture-trautonium, Sala energised the worlds of television, radio, and film. His most well-known works were The Birds and Rosemary (1959). (1962).
In 1910, Sala was born in Greiz, Germany. His father was an ophthalmologist who appreciated talent, and his mother was a vocalist. According to the website, Sala started writing songs and compositions for instruments like the violin and piano when she was 14 years old.
He was captivated by the trautonium's technological possibilities and tonal possibilities after hearing it for the first time.
Then, mastering and further refining trautonium became his life's work, which motivated his research.
He made electronic music that defined his approach apart thanks to his training as an electro-engineer and composer.
Sala won numerous honours for his achievements. He gave his initial batch of tautonium to the German Museum for Contemporary Technology in 1995.
