Moog Music | 1 decade ago
This Moog Music Inc. promo for Moogfest 2010 features audio of Bob Moog provided by the Bob Moog Foundation www.moogfoundation.org. The audio is from a tape that was donated to the Foundation by pioneering synthesist Herb Deutsch, who collaborated with Bob on the first prototype modular-- the Abominatron. In the 84 minute tape, Bob methodically explains the functions of the modular. Bob took piano for many years as a young person, and could readily play, although he was very modest about his ability. He made a nearly innocent statement in this clip that others with more musicianship could get "some good things" out of the instrument-- it is a sincerely prophetic statement. The Abominatron II, a 6' 7" tower of Moog Music's hand-crafted synthesizers and effects pedals will be featured on-stage during Moogfest 2010, a 3 day music festival featuring Massive Attack, Devo, Thievery Corporation, Big Boi, MGMT and many others. Tickets are on sale now at www.moogfest.com!
