Google have been at the forefront of innovation and technology for almost two decades now. Also renowned for their highly creative doodles which celebrates people, discoveries, places and more, the illustration for today, October 18 is a special one indeed. As the day marks the 66th anniversary of the Studio for Electronic Music, their latest doodle honors the establishment for being the ‘first modern music studio‘ which was based in the West German Broadcasting facility in Cologne, Germany.
Having become a haven for innovative musicians and producers around the world back in the day, the Studio for Electronic Music is responsible for the birth of ‘electronic music‘, a genre that has garnered millions of listeners around the world. As explained the tech giant, “The concept for a studio to create electronic music was birthed by composers Werner Meyer-Eppler, Robert Beyer, and Herbert Eimert, who for years had brainstormed the technical requirements of the challenge.” Created by Berlin-based illustrator Henning Wagenbreth, Google also wrote in their blog post saying the doodle “celebrates the diversity of thought and imagination that built this studio and transformed the possibilities of music!”
