Where would we be without musical instruments and recording equipment? Nowhere. And that’s why in 2004 the TECnology Hall of Fame was introduced. This year during the NAMM, which took place a week ago, several innovative products were inducted.

Among them the music software Propellerhead Reason for which I have designed and programmed hundreds of sounds and samples that come with the program. Reason is the youngest product in the TECnology Hall of Fame.

This year besides Propellerhead Reason the Otari MTR-90 24-track recorder, the ARP 2600 synthesizer and the Fender Rhodes electric piano among others were inaugurated (see full list). All credit goes to my Swedish colleagues of Propellerhead Software. But I am also very proud of this because a part of my soul was put into Reason.
