Bob Moog talks Moog records, early synths and instrument design | Red Bull Music Academy

► Subscribe to Red Bull Music Academy: Bob Moog changed the face of popular music by producing the first-ever commercially available synthesizers. The first Moog Modular was knocked up for fun as a project for his musician friend Herbert Deutsch. Though he may have left us for a higher plane, as we found out at the 2003 Red Bull Music Academy, Moog left an enormous legacy behind, having irreversibly changed the sonic landscape of the world. ► #BobMoog #soulmusic #RedBullMusicAcademy __________________________ But pretty soon, after the first strains of synthesizer success by Walter/Wendy Carlos, the Moog stole its way into the heart of rock and jazz fusion and helped instigate all types of electronic music.
