"Thom Holmes returns with the first installation of an exploration of some of the earliest uses of the Moog Modular in live performance. This month he highlights John Mills-Cockell, who was a member of the experimental multimedia group Intersystems in Toronto in the late 60s.
Read about Mills-Cockell's early use of the modular and hear examples of it here."

On a separate note, the Bob Moog Foundation continues to expand their Dr. Bob's SoundSchool education initiative.
"Our hallmark education initiative, Dr. Bob's SoundSchool, began five years ago as a pilot program in eight classrooms. Today the innovative program, which inspires children through the intersection of science, music, and technology, will serve over 85 classrooms, and nearly 2,000 students."
