"In the late '60s, Eberhard Schoener set up the Bavaria-Studios for Electronic Music, and he was also one of the first musicians in Germany to purchase a Moog Synthesizer (the same Moog that later appeared in records by Popol Vuh and Klaus Schulze). In 1971, Eberhard Schoener released "Destruction of Harmony", a record in which he recreates pieces from Bach and Vivaldi using his Moog Synthesizer..."
Regarding the Moog modular:
"ASTRONAUTA - You had one of the first (if not the first one) Modular Moog Synthesizer in Germany. How and when did you purchase that?
SCHOENER - Actually it was Moog No. 2 and it returned from John Lennon. He influenced me a lot and for years it was one of my favourite instruments."
I'm curious if this is the same system used by George Harrison:
George Harrison & His Moog Modular - Zapple & Electronic Sound
I thought I read somewhere awhile ago that the Popol Vuh/Klaus Schulze moog was the one that the Rolling Stones purchased and is seen in the movie Performance. I've never heard of John Lennon purchasing a moog modular before.
ReplyDeleteOops! I think I was wrong about that, just read elsewhere that the Stones moog ended up with Tangerine Dream.
ReplyDeleteThe George Harrison moog, which was used on the Beatles recordings, is still owned by his estate as far as I know. I never hear of Lennon owning a moog.
ReplyDeletethe moog on the beatles albums was the one owned by abbey road studios
