French description (Googlish below):

"Ça s’est passé chez Modularsquare.

Valentina a sonné a la porte de notre showroom une heure seulement avant la fin de notre dernière rencontre. C’était la première fois qu’elle venait. Elle ne savait pas trop où elle mettait les pieds, mais désirait en savoir plus sur les synthétiseurs modulaires. Elle a rejoint un petit groupe de retardataires, qui après quelques minutes d’explications ont commencé à expérimenter sur notre instrument électronique géant.

20 minutes plus tard, les retardataires étaient tous partis, sauf Valentina, qui avait manifestement créée une connexion avec la machine. Petit à petit, les blips et les blops ont commencé à prendre forme, quelque chose était en train d'émerger. J’ai lancé l’enregistrement, et je suis allé la rejoindre.

Ça a donné ceci : 15 minutes de pure improvisation hard techno, 100% modulaire, sans ordinateur, sans plan, sans concertation préalable, sans échanger un seul mot. Un seul langage commun, la musique.

Bien entendu, tout n’est pas à garder dans ces 15 minutes, et la route musicale que nous avons prise n’est qu’une possibilité parmi l'immense champ des possibles que propose ce formidable instrument, mais je tenais à publier cette vidéo dans son intégralité car on y ressent assez bien l'énergie, la spontanéité, et la convivialité qu’un synthétiseur modulaire peut offrir. Tout est là !

Si c’était la première fois que Valentina utilisait un synthétiseur modulaire, ça n’était pas son premier live et encore moins son premier contact avec un synthétiseur. Je vous invite à découvrir sa page Facebook (Valentina Mushy) et à découvrir son projet musical Phantom Love.

J’ai comme l’impression que nous avons une nouvelle recrue de taille pour notre prochaine Synth Battle..."

"All sounds emanating from the Morphing Terrarium with some LFO CV inputs (as seen). Sounds sort of like a Buddha Box to me.
I love it.

Bob Moog Foundation Raffle for Vintage Moog Liberation Synthesizer

"Asheville, NC - March 16, 2015...

Today the Bob Moog Foundation announces its spring raffle for a vintage Moog Liberation synthesizer. The raffle, a fundraiser in support of the Foundation's projects, runs through April 20, 2015 or until all 2,000 tickets are sold. Tickets are $20 each and can be purchased through the Foundation's website. The winner will be announced on April 24, 2015. Also included in the raffle is an original owner's manual for the Liberation, written by Rock Wehrmann in 1980.

The Moog Liberation is distinctive in its form and function as a keytar, or guitar-shaped synthesizer. It was one of the first of its kind when released in 1980, and provided freedom to move around stage while playing. The Liberation was quickly adopted by such bands as Devo, The Human League, Jean Michel Jarre, Tom Coster of Santana, Herbie Hancock, Spyro Gyra, and more.

The Liberation is a strap-on, dual oscillator, monophonic/polyphonic analog synthesizer with one voltage controlled 24dB/octave Moog filter (VCF) and one voltage controlled amplifier (VCA). It boasts a polyphonic section, which allows for synth-like chords, a ring modulator, noise generator, syncable VCOs, and a ribbon controller, located in the neck portion of the instrument.

'The Moog Liberation has a special significance to the Bob Moog Foundation,' remarks executive director Michelle Moog-Koussa. 'Through our archives, we are the proud stewards of the Liberation prototype, a host of fascinating schematics, and a variety of conceptual drawings. The raffle will be a springboard for us to share other historic materials regarding this intriguing instrument.'

The instrument being offered is in excellent technical condition. It has been meticulously restored by the highly regarded restoration studio, Tone Tweakers. There are minor exterior flaws comprised mostly of minor chips in the paint as a badge of its vintage status.

The Liberation raffle follows the Foundation's successful fall 2014 raffle of a vintage Minimoog Model D, won by Danny Hagan of Statesboro, Georgia. Funding raised from the Foundation's raffles supports its innovative educational project, Dr. Bob's SoundSchool, and the organization's Archive Preservation Initiative.
