Panel update and problem / opportunity

Panel update and problem / opportunity

2004-09-29 by J. Larry Hendry

Panel shipping is going well.  Many of you have your happy mail.  More will
get them soon.

We have a couple of problems:

1.  We have lost one of the Mixer / Comparator DIY panels designed by R.
Brewster.  Those of you who have received your packages, please check them
for an accurate count and to be sure we did not send you this panel by
mistake instead of something else. We made the right number.  Now where is
that pesky panel?

2. Three of the Neural Agonizer panels did not pass the inspection.  Yes,
they are OK.  But, not as good as we think they should be.  So, we are going
to have to re-print those ASAP.  That will delay delivery for those guys
that ordered toward the end on those panels.  Sorry.  We will get the
replacements done ASAP.  Fortunately, I do have just a small amount of the
3U metal left over.  So, they only delay will be getting them to the printer
and back.

Since I will be setting up and printing the Neural Agonizer panel again, and
I have enough metal to pick up those who missed out, I can add up to 4
Neural Agonizers to that print order.  If anyone missed getting one of
these, please let me know right away, and I can fix you up.

I want to add that I will be doing another run of Neural Agonizer 
boards in October (next week). So those who are already on the 
waiting list for PCBs may want to order a panel from Larry now.

--Larry responds--
And they did !!  All the extras that we are making while making the reject
replacements are now all spoken for.  However, I will have 2 or 3 rejects
that are still maybe a 6 or 7 on a scale of 10 that will be "liquidated" for
about $5 each that a person in dire need could use in a pinch to build his
NA while he was waiting to order in the next round of panels.

MOOG MOVIE

2004-09-30 by Dana Countryman

Hey all,

I posted this review to the dotcom group, and thought I'd post it 
here, as well:

<<Just saw the MOOG MOVIE documentary last night in Seattle.

It's about 70 minutes long,and mostly features Bob Moog
discussing his philosopy about electronic synthesis and his love
of instrument making. It is not an in-depth look at his life, but
merely focuses in on how the Moog (minimoog, in particular)
changed the face of pop music.

Rick Wakeman talks about the impact the instrument made, and
he's featured in a performance at last year's MoogFest in NYC.
Ditto for Keith Emerson, who doesn't speak, but plays his
massive modular at MoogFest.

Very interesting interviews with Bob talking to Gershon Kingsley
and Walter Sear, but NO chat with Wendy Carlos, at all. Which I
find a glaring omission. Just a brief mention of "Switched-On
Bach", actually.

Jean Jacques Perrey is seen briefly in concert with Luke Vibert in
London, and there's a healthy clip from a Stereolab concert, as
well.

The film really could have focused in more on WHY the classic
sythesizers (Moog clones and minimoogs) have made a huge
comeback at this point in time, and could have taken a more
detailed look at the various parts of the big modular.

Nevertheless, we get a brief look inside Moog Music, Inc. factory,
and actually get to watch a Voyager getting put together, which I
found really interesting.

I also got a copy of the CD soundtrack, which is not nearly as
interesting to me, and mostly features various modern artists
(most of whom I'd never heard of) noodling away at minimoogs,
via hip-hoppy sampled beats. Yawn.

It does come with a second bonus disc, which has some classic
Moog-rock recordings like ELP's "Lucky Man", and Jean
Jacques Perrey's "EVA". But including YES doing "Close To The
Edge" seems a bit out of place.

It's all redeemed (in my eyes) with a wonderful cover of "Baroque
Hoedown" by THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS.

So there you go.

Cheers,

- Dana Countryman

Hey Dana -

Thanks for the review!  Can't wait to see the movie.

Now, I'm going to take a couple of comments, perhaps out of context, 
and juxtapose them:

> The film really could have focused in more on WHY the classic
> sythesizers (Moog clones and minimoogs) have made a huge
> comeback at this point in time

.
> via hip-hoppy sampled beats. Yawn.

OK, so not everybody likes every kind of music (I don't like most 
modern COuntry for example).  But I think you alluded to an answer 
for your own question: the modern analog revival was started by 
Urban musicians, including hip-hop artists.  

It certainly wasn't started by old farts like me: I've only taken 
advantage of it!  ALthough there are some old farts actually 
building the instruments we now treasure... :)

Mike

Re: [motm] MOOG MOVIE

2004-10-01 by John Broaddus

Hi everyone,

I haven't posted in years but thought I'd take the opportunity of topic to
mention how much I enjoyed reading "Analog Days: The Invention and Impact of
the Moog Synthesizer" by Trevor Pinch and Frank Trocco. I found it very
interesting since I wasn't around (or still learning to walk, etc) when the
first Moog modules were coming around. A lot of good stories from the 60's
and 70's from different artists and Dr. Moog too. Good photos from the
factory and various concerts as well.

Thanks,
John

hello all,
that was a very good book - and thanks to todd (i think) i went on amazon to
buy "I Believe In Music" by Ikutaro Kakehashi - i've not read it yet, but i
flicked through it, it looks good, so while we're on the subject, for all
you studio types out there, i recommend "Temples Of Sound" by Cogan & Clark
(Chronicle Books) it's pretty much a history of American recording studios
up to the late 70's, very enjoyable...

the moog movie comes to my city, so i might go and see it, but if it's less
'analog days' and more 'robert moog was the inventor of the theremin' type
stuff i'll leave it out

cheers
