You may be surprised to learn that the voder and vocoder date back to 1939 and 1940, respectively. Considered the first electrical speech synthesizer, VODER (Voice Operation DEmonstratoR) was developed by Homer Dudley at Bell Labs and demonstrated at both the 1939 New York World's Fair and the 1939 Golden Gate International Exposition. Difficult to use and difficult to operate, VODER nonetheless paved the way for future machine-generated speech. http://www.freeturbine.com/index.php/news/general-music-news/item/a-brief-voder-and-vocoder-history-early-speech-synthesizerYou may be surprised to learn that the voder and vocoder date back to 1939 and 1940,... more

A generational window was passing over a mini sub-culture naively dedicated to the odd proposition that Rock Music was a serious art form. David Thomas had a group called Rocket From The Tombs. When it fell apart in the summer of 1975 he decided to record an artifact. This artifact, he hoped, would gain him entry into the Brotherhood of the Unknown that was gathering in used record bins everywhere.

It's being sold on eBay after John Baker's estate sold it on after his death in 1997, and is apparently in very good condition, not having been used since the late '70s. Will the winning bidder use it to create YouTube montages of his/her favorite Doctor Who clips with a spooky synth soundtrack? Compose mixed tapes to be sent to David Tennant? Or simply have their bank send statement after statement of unpaid credit card bills?
