1993 Leon Theremin, who invented the first instrument that used electronics to make music, died in Moscow at age 97. All modern electronic synthesizers are derived from Theremin's invention, which bore his name. He designed the instrument in the early 1920s and it was used in such film classics as The Bride of Frankenstein and The Day the Earth Stood Still. In rock music, the theremin is heard on the Beach Boys' Good Vibrations and Led Zeppelin's Whole Lotta Love.
