I just saw a link to the set on fotosis. I subscribe to a number of synth related tags on flickr and when something catches my eye, I put it up. Apparently The Bob Moog Foundation flickr shots are not being tagged, at least not with the tags I subscribe to, so I completely missed them. Now I am subscribed to the set. You can find the set here.Pictured here is Chris Swanson. You can read a little more about him on Bob Moog's personal site.
"The first Moog concert featured two jazz composers, Herb Deutsch and Chris Swanson, and their quartets. The instrumentation was entirely electronic, employing polyphonic, bass, and percussion synthesizers, and an electronic piano. The output of each instrument was fed to a separate, large Bozak CM-109 speaker system. The output of these units was in turn picked up by a microphone and fed to the Museum's sound reinforcement system, consisting of several compact acoustic - suspension systems hung along the Fifty-Fourth Street wall of the Sculpture Garden. No prerecorded tapes were employed. Every sound produced was created on the spot, and though this was composed music that had been carefully rehearsed, there were ample breaks in both composers' work for prolonged improvisation."
