[David J. Hughes]

Hello,

Did anyone on this list know about Bob Moog's trip to Scotland?

I am somewhat p*ssed to have missed this event.

> THOSE expecting a musical extravaganza had to make do with a couple of short
> demonstrations on the Minimoog Voyager - although some would argue that seeing
> a Moog synthesiser being programmed by the man who invented it was worth
> admission alone. Like most genuine innovators, Robert Moog and Jean Jacques
> Perrey occasionally gave the impression that they would be more comfortable
> back in the workshop than in the spotlight, but they nevertheless delivered
> entertaining accounts of their early careers to an appreciative audience.
> 
> Moog took the audience on a tour through some of the music spawned by his
> invention, from the respected Switched-on Bach series by Wendy Carlos to less
> tasteful appropriations of his name such as Nashville Moog and Moog Beatles -
> which happily he seemed to consider with scientific detachment.
> 
> Now in his mid-seventies, Perrey began a humorous and eccentric account of his
> career with a demonstration of how to splice two lengths of tape, in order to
> illustrate what a laborious process making electronic music was before the
> invention of the synthesiser.
> 
> All in an evening of gentle humour and an insight into scientific innovation
> from two charismatic legends of music.
