Not exactly the same thing, but Les Paul (of guitar fame) invented the
concept of "sound on sound" and "sound with sound" recording. He added
heads to reel to reel tape decks and perfected the technique.
The old recordings of him and Mary Ford used the technique and were super
"high tech" for their day.

Yep, the father of multitrack recording. He really started it all. Most
people only think of Les as a guitar player, of which he was a giant, of
course. But few know of his profound love of and his innovations in
recording technology. Quite a guy.


If you ever have the opportunity, there is a pretty good movie about
Les Paul called "Chasing Sound". Netflix has it.

My favorite moment in the whole movie is when he opens an old guitar
case on his bed, and there is... Django Reinhardts guitar! WOW!

You know - Django Reinhardt is a name most people don't recognise.

Same with Stephen Grappelli (sp?)... :)
