Read the full article at The San Diego Troubador."At first glance, the Museum of Making Music in Carlsbad, California, appears to be the embodiment of a paradox. The ultra-modern facility, nestled amidst a sparkling collection of equally new structures, houses a whole assortment of musical instruments and artifacts that date back many decades. The various guitars, ukuleles, drums, keyboards, horns, gramophones, and amplifiers could easily merit the term "antique" or "vintage." In all honesty, the same might be said about some of the items in the new exhibit, "Waves of Inspiration: The Legacy of Bob Moog," which opened on August 29 and continues through April 30, 2010. A good number of them showed technological hallmarks of a bygone era like patch cords, reel-to-reel tape units, and oscilloscopes. Yet to simply characterize these as artifacts of yesteryear does a disservice to the forward-thinking visionary that was Dr. Robert A. Moog.
His innovations revolutionized the way music is made."
