“Weirdly, I even have a song called the minimoog using that guy!”

Happy Birthday Robert Moog. The American pioneer of electronic music and that famous synthesizer would have been 78 today.  We wanted to find a tribute to the man who has fired so many musical imaginations. Yes, we know Google has done it but here’s something much, much better.  Take a bow Ben Butler and Mousepad

minimoog, first synthesizer for musicians

…also known as Joe Howe, currently based in Glasgow, who just happened to work on an opera when he was in Berlin a couple of years ago referencing the work of Wendy Carlos and early synth pioneers. He directed us to Soundcloud. “I even have a song on there called ‘the minimoog’, using that guy”.

So here it is: Minimoog, a tribute to Bob Moog and his creation, the first synthesizer for musicians developed over 40 years ago. Listen also to Overture Sinfonia and D***Song.

Thank you Joe!
