| | Moog began making theremins again through a new company, Big Briar, but in 2002, he reacquired the right to sell instruments under his own name, and Moog Music began marketing a new version of the Minimoog called the Voyager, a futuristic moniker befitting its space-age sound (and its stellar price). | | | Moog died at his home in Asheville, N.C., on Sunday as the result of an inoperable brain tumor detected in April. | | | Old Moogs began to appear on countless new albums by techno artists who favored their fat, atmospheric drones, hip-hop artists who loved their massive, teeth-rattling bass tones and inventive indie-rockers such as Stereolab and Chicago's Tortoise. |
