The Screen Savers: History of The Moog Synthesizer

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Segments like this one are really what made TSS so great. Dr. Robert Moog explains his Moog synthesizer and the Etherwave Theremin, an instrument that you have to see to believe.

    "It's just fun to play. It just feels good. There's a connection between the player and the instrument which goes beyond something that can be explained with physical theories. It's in the spiritual world." That is the best ever explanation of why analog synthesizers are so appealing, and of course it comes from Moog himself.

    So grateful for the genius behind this cite. I found you because of the simple desire to understand the meaning of "theremin," a word new to me in a music review in my paper newspaper. Hello Google. I've been hearing theremins on soundtracks for decades. My first child was born in 1965, by the way.

    Such a humble,kind,intelligent man.I had a heavy heart whilst watching this.Your legacy will continue to bring joy and teach people about the fascinating world of sound.Every time I have fun playing my keyboard,it's possible because of your life long dedication to all things analogue.Thank you Bob.

    It's so nice to see Bob on TV still enthusiastic and loving telling us about them. It makes me sad that he would pass away the year after. RIP Bob, a gentleman and pioneer.

    I had a dream I died and the one thing I wanted to take with me was my synthesizers (sad I know). I'm still praying there are synths in heaven (or at least a synth harp) hopefully with Dr. Moog there his work will continue on...
