Harry Breuer is an American violinist, xylophonist and electronic music pioneer.
Starting off in the band, the Cliquot Club Eskimos, he quickly made a name for himself as a xylophonist and eventually landed several contracts with NBC, Warner Brothers and Fox producing soundtracks for documentaries and educational films. Eventually, he focused on making synthesizer music and strayed away from traditional instruments. Breuer went on to create some of the first space-age bachelor pad albums and worked with Jacques Perrey on The Happy Moog.
