Moog Music Launches Season Two Of Moog Sound Lab And A Partnership With SPIN.com

"November 21, 2011: Moog Music launches Season Two of Moog Sound Lab, a unique performance series giving artists the opportunity to experiment with various forms of synthesis and soundscaping. Season Two marks a partnership with music tastemaker, SPIN.com. SPIN will exclusively present one performance from each session.

Moog Sound Lab Season Two’s debut episode features a distinctive performance by Twin Shadow, who applies synthesis to organically re-invent his breakthrough songs “Castles In The Snow” and “Slow”. The on-line series is creatively engineered and filmed at Moog Music's factory in Asheville, North Carolina by Moog’s in-house multi-media production team.

Little Dragon, The Antlers, Ra Ra Riot, and Megafaun join Twin Shadow for the second season of Moog Sound Lab. Each band re-imagined two of their songs while experimenting in Moog's gear rich, black box studio space within its working factory. Combining artists' untethered creativity with access to the full catalog of Moog's handcrafted electronic musical instruments, Moog Sound Lab offers viewers a rare view of performances usually reserved for private rehearsals and experimentation that take place regularly at the Moog factory.

Viewers may watch one performance exclusively on SPIN.com and the other at moogsoundlab.com. The episodes will debut on the first and third Mondays of each month. Little Dragon's session will premier December 5th.

Season One of Moog Sound Lab featured Tegan and Sara, Phantogram, OK GO, Junip, Dorit Chrysler, and The Dandy Warhols, which can be viewed at moogsoundlab.com.

Triadex Muse Vintage Synthesizer / Sequencer

via this auction via analogsd
"This very unique machine is regarded by some as the first digital musical instrument. Designed by Edward Fredkin and Marvin Minsky at MIT, the Muse is an algorithmic music generator: it uses digital logic circuits to produce a sequence of notes based on the settings of various parameters.

Since the Muse was designed as a composition tool, not a synthesizer, there is no control over the timbre of the sound; rather, the front panel controls affect the melodies that are generated.

The four small sliders in the lower-left control Volume, Tempo, Pitch, and Fine Pitch. The switches to either side are used to start and stop the sequence, or to step through it note-by-note.

Of the eight larger sliders on the right, four control the musical intervals used (labeled A, B, C, and D), and four control the theme (labeled W, X, Y, and Z). A rest can be substituted for the lowest note by flipping a toggle switch. The exact logic behind the composition engine is rather technical, and not exactly intuitive.

The tempo clock can be slaved to that of another Muse, allowing for multi-part compositions.

It is not known exactly how many Muses were made, but they are very rare, and were not available in stores."
