Mort Garson (1924–2008) was a pioneering Canadian-born composer and electronic music innovator whose work helped define the early sound of the synthesizer era. Trained in classical composition, Garson transitioned from orchestral arranging to exploring the Moog synthesizer in the 1960s, creating groundbreaking albums like *Mother Earth’s Plantasia*—a cult favorite celebrating the harmony between plants and music. His genre-blending approach, spanning pop, space-age, and experimental soundscapes, continues to influence generations of electronic musicians and listeners seeking warmth and wonder in synthesized sound.
