"Synopsis

In this report from a longer programme, Derek Cooper introduces the Moog synthesiser, an instrument that can produce a variety of noises and arrangements, both mimicking real instruments and creating new sounds, all electronically.

Did you know?

Developed by Dr Robert Moog, the Moog synthesiser evolved from a kit known as a Voltage-Controlled Electronic Music Module, which Moog demonstrated in prototype form in 1964. The first production models emerged in 1967, accompanied by a sample record of music composed by Walter Carlos (later Wendy Carlos, after her sex-change operation in 1972). It was Carlos's 1968 album 'Switched-On Bach' that catapulted Moog-produced music into popular culture, though examples of music made on the synthesiser had already been released by The Doors, The Monkees and Simon & Garfunkel, among others.

BILLY CORGAN'S ICHABOD - A MATTSON MINI MODULAR - ONE NOTE ORCHESTRA - DEVIL'S TOWER

YouTube via redmartian
"This one was done back on the test bench. I wanted to make a morphing polyphonic sound that could be played with a single note. There is a part that is chromatic part that is played first and then step glided later. I believe I only used 6 oscillators with a mixture of various wave forms using the Voltage Controlled Control Voltage mixer for movement.

The picture was taken at Devil's Tower Wyoming."

Motiquencer of the Untenable Equilibrium Analog Compulsor

YouTube via RadiPho
"Initial testing of the Motiquencer ... a 4 separate 16 step sequencers, sequencer... each sequencer has an input to control up/down, hold, reset, step advance. It is built with discrete CMOS logic and as one may see in this video, is entirely 100% hand wired ... 100's of wires flying every where!. The front panel, as with most the rest of the synth, is completely unlabeled and was drilled by hand with a hand drill so that the rows and columns of jacks and pots waver and wobble from any ideal of symmetrical precision."

"Here is a rare clip of Sesame Street' Big Bird, together with the June Taylor Dancers on the Ed Sullivan Show, from 1969. The music is "March of the Robots", by Jean-Jacques Perrey. The clip uses Perrey's original Vanguard Records' recording, but interestingly, later in the song, the CBS Studio Orchestra joins in!
Hope you enjoy this!"
