Producer Of Your Favorite Memories
Robert Margouleff is a Grammy® Award-winning engineer/producer, early synthesizer pioneer, studio owner, and filmmaker. Most noted for his work with electronic music synthesizer programming for Stevie Wonder's "classic period" and the hit album by DEVO titled "Freedom Of Choice/ Whip It."
He has played a major role in bringing synthesizers to the forefront of popular music and went on to create a Hollywood icon production studio mixing the biggest blockbuster films into surround sound for streaming and home theater.
AN ENDURING LEGACY
The journey of crafting groundbreaking albums for some of the music industry's most influential artists began with Robert and Malcolm Cecil's prototype modular synthesizer, and a recording deal for Tonto's Expanding Headband named "Zero Time" which was released on Herbie Mann's label, Embryo Records.
Robert Margouleff embarked on his early career in audio production as a pioneer in the development of early synthesizers. After partnering with Malcolm Cecil, they created the mega-synth known as "TONTO" (The Original Neo Timbral Orchestra) which utilized cutting-edge instruments from the likes of Moog', ARP, and many others.
As a result of their teamwork, this monumental synthesizer led to their team's historic co-production of Stevie Wonder's "classic period" which is featured on The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time by Rolling Stone: #34 'Innervisions' (1973), and #59 'Talking Book' (1972).
​
Fast forward to the present day, this iconic synthesizer has undergone a recent restoration and now lives inside Studio Bell at The National Music Centre in Calgary, Canada.
