In the forward of the Theremin biography, Bob begins “After years of meticulous research, Albert Glinsky has written this wondrous story of Leon Theremin…” He will be carrying that same ethos forward when exploring Bob’s own life and work.

Bob Moog Google Doodle Demonstration: How to use it!

YouTube Published on May 22, 2012 by AutomaticGainsay

"Contribute to the Bob Moog Foundation! http://www.moogfoundation.org

Here is a demonstration of the sound and functionality of the new Bob Moog Google Doodle released on Bob Moog's birthday to celebrate his legacy!
I only had a short time to throw this together, for obvious reasons... so please forgive my haste!
Thank you to Bob Moog for changing my life, as well as bringing an incredible form of musical expression into the world."

Update: the Moog Doodle Quick Start Guide and the inside story on Mashable.

"When Google’s Chief Doodler Ryan Germick and Google Engineer Joey Hurst decided they wanted to build the Google Moog Synthesizer Doodle, it was to 'Pay tribute to someone who was like a patron saint of the nerdy arts,' said Germick.

Germick told Mashable that he was a huge Robert Moog fan. Moog, who died in 2005 and would have been 78 today, developed what is widely recognized as the first commercial synthesizer. Previous versions were the size of closets. Germick called him 'a passionate toolmaker.'

Hurst and Germick collaborated on last year’s playable Les Paul guitar Google Doodle, but it was Germick who brought this project to Hurst — who actually celebrated his birthday one day before Moog’s — as a kind of a challenge. 'Joey is an amazing engineer and I love to come up with a way to stump him,' explained Germick.

The concept was to recreate the Mini Moog Analog Synthesizer in a Web browser. Germick thought there was no way it could be done. Hurst, who knew someone who owned an original Moog, was instantly excited by the project..."

RCA Theremin & Talking Machine

YouTube Published on May 22, 2012 by copperleaves

"The theremin in this video is the instrument that once belonged to Julius Goldberg, the partner and personal assistant of Russian inventor Leon Theremin. This is a 1929 RCA theremin that was customized by Goldberg in the early 1930's and provided with 'lightning bolt' volume and pitch antennas. In this video, I am using an ELECTRO-HARMONIX 'Talking Machine' on a fixed, open 'AH' sound, which lends to the tone a remarkable likeness to a human tenor.

The theremin has often been compared to an 'electric soprano' but used with the Talking Machine, it can also be an ELECTRIC TENOR or an ELECTRIC BARITONE!

The composition is the famous tenor aria, NESSUN DORMA, from the opera TURANDOT by Italian composer Giacomo Puccini."
