"The First Moog Synthesizer Recordings
At first, Bob Moog didn’t think of his synthesizer as a total solution for the musician. He once famously said, 'There was never a notion that a synthesizer would be used by itself for anything.' He pictured it as another piece of equipment in the traditional electronic music studio. But as soon as the first modular systems were available, musicians from many genres began to think of the Moog as standalone musical instrument for music as wide-ranging as commercial jingles to experimental classical music. Curiosity about the Moog Synthesizer grew quickly as the instrument began to appear on commercially available recordings of popular music in 1967."
