Google Arts & Culture has launched a cool new way to learn more about the history of electronic music.

With its freshly released interactive exhibition Music, Makers & Machines, Google's not-for-profit platform, together with YouTube, traces through the legacy of electronic music—from the genre's pioneers, forgotten instruments, culture, to its rapidly expanding technology. 

Super proud of our team who partnered with the amazing @googlearts team on the development of this awesome new project: "Music, Makers & Machines: A Brief History Of Electronic Music". So much to explore [the AR Synth!!😎]. 🎵🎶🎵https://t.co/Ki5MpY7veD
