American pioneer of electronic music. "Starting in Illinois in collaboration with engineer Jeff Mack, and continuing at the Center for Music Experiment at the University of California, San Diego, Kobrin designed an extremely sophisticated hybrid system (actually referred to as 'Hybrid I' through 'V') that interfaced a mini-computer to an array of voltage-controlled electronic sound modules" (David Dunn: "[A History of Electronic Music Pioneers][1]").
