Within this framework, this proposal includes an extensive archive of photos, videos, tours in 360 and 3D scanned objects, including iconic synthesizers and the door to Berlin's legendary techno club Tresor.

It was in 1895 cuando Thaddeus Cahill, un inventor de Iowa, started working on the world's first electromechanical musical instrument: with a weight of 200 tons and 18 meters long, la telharmonium, a colossal machine to produce and share music over the phone.

“In the 126 years since then, electronic music evolved in equally bold and ingenious ways”, point out from Google Arts and Culture through a statement.
