Hi Rick,

Thomas Bloch is probably the best-known ondenist these days.

I actually appear on an album along with Thomas Bloch:

(you have to scroll down to find Thomas Bloch and me, too.)

I have never met Thomas Bloch -- he, I and others recorded the tracks  
in our own studios that, in turn, were sent to Mr. Bhatia and mixed  
into the recording.

The Bolero track starts out with vintage (pre-1960's) electronic  
instruments and progresses through each decade and ends up with  
current software-based synthesis.

If you are interested to hear a musical journey and a huge array of  
synthesizers and electronic instruments, you will enjoy this album.
