L'histoire
Le Caine, spent his life inventing and composing. At work, he was a physicist at the National Research Council in Ottawa. At home he pursued his consuming interest in electronic music and sound generation. During the ‘40s, he designed a number of instruments including the Sackbut synthesizer, which is now recognized as the first voltage-controlled musical instrument of its kind. Eventually Le Caine was allowed to bring his private interests to work at the NRC. His full-time involvement with music produced a legacy of new instruments and compositions, the most well known of which is Dripsody, a piece of music which consists only of the sound of falling water drops.
