Moog SSB - Star Spangled Banner
Update: This is a propaganda bit from the 80s with military footage. If you find that offensive, you might want to skip this one.
YouTube via TerryT1976. Wish the quality was better, but there you go. Happy 4th of July America!
"This National Anthem montage was used in several TV stations when they signed off/on. I remember seeing this on my local stations KCOP and KABC in the early-mid 80s. Note that the Star Spangled Banner is performed on a Moog Synthesizer with brass horns. Please forgive the poor quality of this! I will re-post this clip once I find a better version."
BTW, I realize many readers of the site are not from the US. I'd love to put up posts celebrating your holidays as well. That said, feel free to send me something commemorating your holiday and relating to synths. A simple thing would be a picture of your synth with your country's flag or whatever else synth related would be appropriate. My email is matrixsynth at hotmail dot com. What's interesting about the US? We are ultimately all from somewhere else!!! My roots? South America and Europe, Chile and Switzerland to be specific! It really is a melting pot here and that's what I love about this country.

I don't like the F-4 Mig killer,and the B-52.
ReplyDeleteYep. Quite a bit going on in this post.
ReplyDeleteThe musical arrangment/rendering is interesting, albeit heavily Carlos-esque, but all the war imagery is a huge turn off for me.
ReplyDeleteYeah it is. It's interesting to think that was the message they created for the American people at the time. The holiday and where we are at today can be a bit bittersweet when you think about it.
ReplyDeleteyou should have posted a disclaimer warning the faint of heart that the video depicts actual warplanes even though it does not show them dropping napalm or ordinance the mere sight of these machines may cause the timid of heart, anxiety and discomfort.
ReplyDeleteFair enough. Post updated.
ReplyDeletelol, I think the clip below showing rick wakeman sporting a cape to be far more disturbing.
