Borborygmus ... 

 Jean-Jacques Perrey was born in France in 1929. He was studying medecine in Paris when he met George Jenny, inventor of the Ondioline. Quitting medical school, Perrey travelled through Europe demonstrating this keyboard ancestor of the modern synth. At the age of 30, Perrey relocated to New York, sponsored by Caroll Bratman, who build him an experimental laboratory and recording studio. Here he invented "a new process for generating rhythms with sequences and loops", utilising the environmental sounds of musique concrète. With scissors, splicing tape & tape recorders, he spent weeks piecing together a uniquely comique take on the future. Befriending Robert Moog, he became one of the first Moog musicians, creating "far out electronic entertainment"...discogs.com ...

Maurice Jarre

Dr Zhivago...

Jean-Michel Jarre's father Maurice was the first to use a (prototype) Moog in his soundtrack for Dr Zhivago, along with samisen, koto, Novachord (the first true polyphonic synth), a sonovox (early vocoder), tack piano, harpsichord, zither and 24 balalaikas of course ...oh, and the full MGM studio orchestra and 40-piece choir.   The Moog was used to add bass to the orchestral sound... This was late 1965 and the Moog modular synth was just invented, and delivered to the studio by truck...
