Google Doodle celebrates electronic music composer and German physicist Oskar Sala

Largely recognised for producing sound effects on a musical instrument called a mixture-trautonium, Sala electrified the world of television, radio, and film with musical pieces

Born in 1910 in Germany to parents who had a natural talent in music, Sala in his adolescent years began creating compositions and songs for instruments like the violin and piano.

Sala first heard about a device called the trautonium His life mission became mastering the trautonium and developing it further which inspired his studies in physics and composition at school

With his education as a composer and an electro-engineer, he created electronic music that set his style apart from others. The mixture-trautonium’s

The mixture-trautonium’s architecture is so unique that it was capable of playing several sounds or voices simultaneously.”

Sala also built the Quartett-Trautonium, Concert Trautonium, and the Volkstrautonium. His efforts in electronic music opened the field of subharmonics.

Sala received several awards for his work — he gave many interviews, met numerous artists and was honoured in radio broadcasts and movies.
