[sdiy] FW: Film about Bob Moog and Bob Moog appearance

[Tim Parkhurst]

Hey Nor Cal synth boys and girls! Check the email below from my friend Pat.
The Moog movie will make its "West Coast premier" at the Rio Theater in
Santa Cruz AND Dr. Bob will be there for Q&A!!! I'm definitely taking a 1/2
day to go! (it's on a Thursday).


Tim (this might even be worth taking a full vacation day) Servo

> The Rio Theater presents the west coast premiere of
> "MOOG"
> plus a post-show LIVE talk and Q&A with ROBERT MOOG
> A feature documentary by filmmaker/musician Hans Fjellestad about Robert
Moog,
> inventor of the modern synthesizer. The 70 minute film explores Moog's
> collaborations with musicians over the years, and his ideas about
creativity,
> design, interactivity and spirituality. Bob Moog (b. 1934) has been
inventing and
> building electronic musical instruments for nearly half a century. Still
active in
> his workshop in rural North Carolina, Moog continues to shape musical
culture with
> some of the most inspiring instruments ever created. Moog explains that he
"can
> feel what's going on in a piece of electronic equipment... it's something
between
> discovering and witnessing." And he is convinced that many musicians come
to "feel"
> a circuit in a similar way. "They make contact." In fact, musicians make
such
> strong emotional connections with the electronics inside a Moog
synthesizer that
> Moog himself has reached cult hero status. Moog has not only made
prodigious
> contributions to modern music and culture, but he has become a character
within an
> unfolding "American maverick inventor" mythology. Moog certainly walks and
talks
> the "mad scientist" part, complete with the fly-away white hair, intense
eyes,
> eccentric mannerisms and a head full of stories.
> The film was shot on location in Asheville, New York, Los Angeles, San
Francisco,
> Tokyo and London, featuring appearances by Keith Emerson, Walter Sear,
Gershon
> Kinsgley, Jean-Jacques Perrey & Luke Vibert, Rick Wakeman, DJ Spooky, Herb
Deutsch,
> Bernie Worrell, Pamelia Kurstin, Tino Corp. with Charlie Clouser, Money
Mark, Mix
> Master Mike, and an eclectic mix of performers. Artists such as Stereolab,
Meat
> Beat Manifesto, Tortoise, Money Mark, Luke Vibert & Jean-Jacques Perrey,
33, Moog
> Cookbook, Plastiq Phantom, Psilonaut, Bernie Worrell & Bootsy Collins,
Roger
> O'Donnell, The Album Leaf, Pete Devriese, Bostich, Charlie Clouser,
Baiyon, Suzanne
> Ciani, Gershon Kingsley, Doug McKechnie, Electric Skychurch and others are
> contributing original music produced on Moog instruments for the
soundtrack.
> Additional discoveries like vintage films borrowed from dusty private
collections
> round out this stylized, wonderfully strange story of a true American
maverick.
> BOB MOOG will appear live at the Rio Theatre for this special west coast
premiere
> screening for a talk and Q&A after the film.
> Show time: 7:30pm
> Admission: $7.00
