Never heard any stuff from his band, but it sucks when someone dies. RIP.

He wasn't in a band, at least none that I know of.

He was a pioneer of electronic music who created the Moog synthesizer and is largely responsible for the popularization of the theremin (which is, by far, the most badass instrument to have ever existed).

It's the death of a legend. Rest in peace.

ADDED: ****. He lived in Asheville? Had no idea.
