The cultural upheaval caused by the Nazis, from whom he  ed from Vienna to Rio de Janeiro in 1937, put an end to a very prom- ising career as an opera composer. In 1940 he settled in New York, where he worked to real- ize his visions of an electronic music machine for the stage. There were many attempts, which all fell short, one of these was an optical syn- thesizer with waveforms he drew himself, and  nally the Moogtonium, a synthesizer based on Oskar Sala\u2019s Mixtur-Trautonium and engi- neered by Robert A. Moog. But development took much too long, and Brand was never able to ful ll his dream of an electronic one-man- orchestra for the opera stage.
