Bob Moog: Electronic Music Pioneer
I just read today at Engadget that Bob Moog, electronic music pioneer, is suffering from an inoperable brain tumour. My first synth was a Moog–the infamous Concertmate MG-1, made for Radio Shack. OK, it wasn’t one of Moog’s classic synths, but it was still great fun in junior high, and I’d still use it today if it weren’t such a pain to bring it over to the UK.
His family have set up a site at CaringBridge, and I’ve signed their guestbook. If you have any interest at all in electronic music, please visit this site and pay tribute to one of the great musical instrument inventors of the 20th Century.
