Bruce Clinton Haack (1931-1988) was a musician and composer, and a pioneer within the realm of electronic music. He was born in Alberta, Canada.
Haack had a notoriously disturbed childhood, growing up in a dysfunctional rural Alberta home. He received a degree in psychology at the University of Alberta in Edmonton. Later, he attended the Juilliard School of Music in New York on a scholarship, where he made many friendships that would prove important to his career. However, he ultimately dropped out after 8 months.
Haack worked extensively on children's music, releasing more music and seeing more success in this field of music than in any other. For these children records he worked together with Esther Nelson, a dance teacher. His most important records (for adults) were "Electric Lucifer" 1 & 2; the first of which was made largely on modified synthesizers. This attachment is explained in the film Haack: The King of Techno despite the fact that Bruce Haack's influence on techno was minimal at best as an outsider musician.
In 1988, Haack died of heart failure. Most of the Haack/Nelson albums remain unreleased in the United States, though they are available through Japanese imports and via peer-to-peer file-sharing programs.
Despite not having any formal knowledge in electronics, Haack built his own musical instruments, like "The Magic Wand," "The Dermatron" (a synthesizer that was played by leading an electrical current through physical contact with another person) and the "People-odion." He also composed music under the artist names of "Jackpine Savage" and "Jacques Trapp."
