Rush and Dr Moog!

This one in via Aaron.

"Hey Matrix,

Since it's Dr Moog's Bday I was thinking about what got me into Moog (not necessarily synthesizers) and it was in fact this video:


YouTube via AirbrushRocks — April 14, 2008

and in particular the spot at 3:59 in the video literally. This is what inspired me to get into college to work for my EE degree back in 1998. Of course I finished and moved on.

Funny enough when I was working at Moog in 2008 two LPs came across my station for repair and when I began to muck around with them I noticed the presets were named after Rush songs. As it turned out they were the LPs Geddy Lee was using on stage during that tour!:)

It's pretty funny how life works isn't it!

Cheers,
Aaron"

Awesome.

  2. There is a new documentary film coming from them - looks GREAT. This Minimoog has the ribbon pitchbend installed, a BIG improvement I thought. I know he had a Minimoog in red sparkle finish at one time, can't see in the video if this is the one. And a serious Taurus user!
