Thanks, I swear to listen to it left me breathless!
And I imagined that for the first time he was trying something unprecedented...
Really great experience, thanks again!
P.S.: I did not understand what it has to do with Debussy's Clair de Lune, though.
Which, among other things, is one of my favorite favorite pieces in absolute.
For the sake of accuracy just noticed that it could not be the Clair de Lune of Debussy because it was composed much later in 1890 and published in 1905...
However I found the wiki-page of "Au clair de la lune" with its MIDI file here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Au_clair_de_la_lune
Siegfried Linkwitz and Nelson Pass for their inventiveness and endless generosity in sharing with and teaching others. This could also apply to lots of others on this forum.
Anton Thiele and Richard Small for their groundbreaking work developing loudspeaker driver parameters to allow a structured approach to design.

Thiele indeed

The big ugly thorny son-of a guns. The ones that usually take a machete. I'ma gonna unleash the Brane X on 'em. That will be my latest contribution to adapting audio into real world applications.

Shockley as in Schottky Diode?

There may be those who would discredit him and his compatriots because "only tubes make good sound."
The book at this website goes into Shockley's contributions to the early semiconductor industry, and from what I remember reading of it, he was as much of a showman (and businessman) as a scientist/engineer:

One might also mention the invention/inventor of the semiconductor op-amp, Bob Widlar https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Widlar#μA702_and_μA709. Though some purists don't like them (earlier ones were nowhere near as good as more recent ones), virtually every commercial recording from the past at least three or four decades as gone through at least one op-amp. And certainly Walt Jung deserves a mention here.
When you read Shannon's 1949 article "Communication in the presence of noise", you find he actually wrote about the sampling theorem: "This is a fact which is common knowledge in the communication art". The mathematical proof comes after that remark.

absolutely. Without the semiconductor op-amp a lot albums we love could not have been created.
