Bob Moog Interview on Robotspeak

If you haven't seen this one, do check it out. Amazing interview that touches on Buchla, Mortin Subotnik, Krause, Leon Theremin, the KGB and more. Some fascinating bits of history I never knew. Intriging and quite funny at times. There is also a great intro that captures images of what Bob meant to a lot of us.



"Sometimes I like to imagine what it would be like if Bob Moog were my grandfather. We’d hang out on the front porch of his modest North Carolina home and discuss our relative preferences for saw waves over square ones. It’s a fantasy that warms my geek heart — the king of analog synthesis, the gentle genius beloved by electronic musicians the world-over, adopting me into the Moog clan and giving me handmade theremins for my birthday."

  1. I guess every synth geek want's
    an "Uncle Bob"-

    I have similar fantasies ;)

    Still remember how excited i was, when i met Bob for the first time
    on the Musicmesse 2003. I was actually too nervous to talk to him
    and just sneaked round the booth
    playing the awesome Voyager for the first time.

    We will miss him.

    Cheers,

    Mike
