In 1966 he joined fellow electronic artist Bernie Krause , forming Beaver & Krause . They were one of the first groups of the new Electronica genre, and their album '' The Nonesuch Guide To Electronic Music '' became a landmark work. Beaver & Krause continued until Beaver's death in 1975. In June 1967 Beaver and Krause set up a booth at the Monterey Pop Festival , demonstrating their newly purchased electronic synthesiser, one of the first constructed by Bob Moog . Beaver introduced Monkees singer-drummer Micky Dolenz to the Moog, which became a featured instrument on the fourth Monkees album, '' Pisces, Aqaurius, Capricorn, & Jones, Ltd. '', and Beaver himself performed on one track, " Star Collector ". Thanks to their demonstrations of the Moog at Monterey, Beaver and Krause also introduced the instrument to a number of other leading American pop acts including The Doors , Simon & Garfunkel and The Byrds , helping to create the vogue for the Moog that emerged in the late 1960s and early 1970s. |
