| | SignOnSanDiego.com > News > Features -- In the Moog: a look at an instrumental inventor |
| | Having forever transformed the sound of popular music with his fabled Moog synthesizer, a potent electronic force since the 1960s, Robert Moog was no stranger to fast-talking directors pitching proposed film projects about him. | | | Moog is shown in the film interacting with several generations of artists inspired by his revolutionary instrument, which created a brave new world of sonic possibilities limited only by the imagination of those using it. | | | From The Beatles and Monkees to Beck and Black Eyed Peas, and from Amy Grant and The Roots to Mariah Carey and San Diego's Album Leaf, the Moog has been a ubiquitous presence in popular music since Walter Carlos' groundbreaking, all-Moog album, "Switched-On Bach," was released in 1968. |

| | While the sonic burblings of the original Moog are too often associated with 60's/70's kitsch, musician/documentarian Hans Fjellestad ably frames his film/soundtrack around a more contemporary mix of styles that better showcase the instrument's enduring, nearly boundless potential. | | | A bonus disc is also included (while not on the packaging) with all the great prog rock and new wave contributions of Moog synthesizer music. | | | Moog Music: Robert Moog's synthesizer in action: A list by A.Trendl HungarianBookstore.com, Robert A.

| | Splendid: Departments: &: Moog DVD |
| | In his notes on the film and the majority of press that accompanied its theatrical release in 2004, Fjellestad made it clear that Moog would not be a history of electronic music but the story of the man who made perhaps the largest contribution to its technical evolution. | | | Money Mark gushes in the company of the inventor, while DJ Spooky elaborates upon the influence of Moog's invention upon contemporary electronic music. | | | Equally interesting is the series of conversations Moog has with his fellow synthesizer pioneers and contemporaries from the early days of the instrument, including Jean Jacques Perrey, Walter Sear, and Herb Deutsch, and the difficulties that came with launching a new instrument in a conservative marketplace. |

| | Robert Moog |
| | From the early 1970s onwards, Moog music began to be heard worldwide, first on film soundtracks such as that for A Clockwork Orange (1971), which was played by Carlos, and later on dance records such as Donna Summer's "I Feel Love" (1977). | | | By 1968 Moog had sold dozens of the instruments - their buyers included John Cage and Mick Jagger - and they had been heard on records by the Monkees and on the Beatles' "Abbey Road", but the time-consuming nature of their construction and an innate lack of business sense was threatening to capsize his company. | | | Accordingly, he remained with Moog Music, as it had been renamed, until 1977, mainly making guitar amplifiers. |

| | The Beatles used a Moog synthesizer on their 1969 album Abbey Road and a Moog was used to create an eerie soundtrack to the 1971 film A Clockwork Orange. | | | The Moog, which allowed musicians to generate sounds that could mimic nature or seem otherworldly, has been a presence in popular music since Walter - now Wendy - Carlos's groundbreaking, Switched-On Bach was released in 1968 using only the new instrument. | | | Mike Adams, president of Moog Music, said: "He was a musical pioneer for the love of it and musicians everywhere have had the opportunity to expand their own creative horizons with Bob's inventions." |

| | Moog @ Filmbug |
| | This film is an amazing tribute to an amazing man. Without Bob Moog you can forget the existence of many of your favorite all-time albums. | | | And not because of the live music filmed at MoogFest (although it was great). | | | I've been a Moog synth fan for 30 years and thought I knew a little of Moog the man. But the insight this film gives to how Moog thinks and therefore how his music machines work. |

| | Robert Moog, whose modular synthesizers revolutionized musical production, spent his teenage years building Theremin's from the plans of a hobbyist magazine. | | | The film shows that concerts performed by Clara Rockmore to the accompaniment of major symphony orchestras, went a long way towards gaining the acceptance of the Theremin as a serious musical instrument. | | | Moog claims that Leon Theremin's work is the cornerstone of the use of electronics in musical instrument design. |

| | From this, commercial synthesizers (such as the VCS-3 "Putney" and the Moog Minimoog) were born, and the music world would never be the same. | | | Modular synthesizers have the greatest freedom in terms of composing patches, and for this reason they are still used in the studios of film composers and studios that require the ability to make new sounds. | | | Samplers are technically sample playback synthesizers with RAM instead of ROM inside; but by enabling you to create your own sounds, the samplers open up a world of new possibilities. |
