YouTube via synthdood — June 15, 2010 — "This is a jam I was playing with on sat. This is my DIY euro modular, I built almost everything in this box. I am using a Teezer TZ VCO, a dual 8038 VCO (pcb designed by Fonik), a Threeler VCF, two CGS/Serge VCS, an MFB sequencer, CGS DC mixer, three MFOS quantizers, and a Blacet Digital Pattern Generator.
I am using the LT trigger output from the tr-606 to clock the MFB sequencer. I will post the MP3 soon."

Moogmoogzela :: Moog x Vuvuzela

YouTube via MoogMusicInc — June 15, 2010 —

"Moog Soccer Hooligans invaded the Moog Sound Lab and developed this secret weapon...coming to a stadium near you."

For those not familiar with the Vuvuzela, it's a plastic horn that has become the signature sound of this year's World Cup in South Africa. Via Wikipedia: "Vuvuzelas have also been blamed for drowning the sound and atmosphere of football games.[8][9] Commentators have described the sound as "annoying" and "satanic"[10] and compared it with "a stampede of noisy elephants",[11] "a deafening swarm of locusts",[12] "a goat on the way to slaughter",[13] and "a giant hive full of very angry bees".[14]

The sound level of the instrument has been measured at 127 decibels[15][4] contributing to football matches with dangerously high sound pressure levels for unprotected ears.[16] A new model, however, announced on 14 June 2010, has a modified mouthpiece which is claimed to reduce the volume by 20 dB.[15]"

Simply put some people love it, most seem to hate it. I remember having one of these when I was a kid in Los Angeles of all places, so it wasn't just a South African thing. Wish I had a Mini back then instead. :)
