GOOGLE HONOURS Robert Moog on his birtdhay today. His synthesizer marked my entrance to teenaged years when it was demonstrated at the Monterey International Pop Festival in 1967.
I'm writing this blog post as a reminder to buy Switched-On Bach by Wendy Carlos, a Moog recording that became one of the highest-selling classical music recordings of its era.
The success of Switched-On Bach sparked a slew of other synthesizer records in the late 1960s to mid 1970s.
Live bands like Daft Punk take Moog into modular with their scaled-down, simplified, self-contained musical instruments. That's Daft Punk playing below from the film Tron.
