The electroacoustic pioneer Jon Appleton died last Saturday of pneumonia, his son reports.

Jon founded one of America’s first electronic music studios at Dartmouth College and taught there for 42 years.

He also helped found the Theremin Centre for Electronic Music at the Moscow Conservatoire.

He was a virtuoso on that instrument, and on the synclavier.
