moog dvd

in the opening credits they showed what i thought a very close up look of the inside on a synthesizer. you can see really close the wires the transistors a lot of the small components that would be needed in the making of a synthesizer. they also showed a cartoon version of moog playing a synthesizer and they showed sine waves going along with the music. i thought that was pretty cool. moog said a lot of interesting things. one thing that he said was the media focused on how rock music was making musicians deaf. it kinda made me laugh how people can be really ignorant sometimes. the media thought that something that was digital was considered harmful and that acoustic instruments were considered normal. some people thought moog was destroying music and human culture with his synthesizers. moog designed his instruments an open mind and a wide range for many possibilities. he felt that when a musician played with his instruments that they made contact with it. "not physical as if they had it under their arm pit" he said but an emotional spiritual connection. i can understand that because when i play guitar i feel like i can express myself in ways unimaginable. it feels good just let loose your emotions through music. moog was also a gardener. he grew up doing it along his father. all the food him and his wife ate were organic. they grew all their veggies themselves.  when he was talking about how he got into designing synthesizers he said he felt like it was meant to happen. he just felt right about it. it just came to easy for him. it was one easy thing after another that lead into his business. moog synthesizers made sounds that traditional instruments could not make. there were also a lot of ways of switching the sound of the instrument and that piano was just one idea. "it just made sense". some however thought it was to traditional. a major sound that his synthesizers can make are alien sounds.  one person said he perfected that sound and that everyone knows it. its true every time someone hears one of those eerie sounds you just cant help but think of aliens. he mainly built his equipment for experimental musicians and for new york city people with crazy sound ideas. everyone wanted to play melodies however because it was part of popular music. i honestly dont think there is anything wrong with melodies. especially if a moog synthesizer is going to make them sound better. his concept for creating synthesizers was to put together something whole. it didnt make synthetic sounds. he didnt think the sounds were fake. which the meaning of synthesis means combining parts into a whole which is what he wanted to do. he just made synthesizer sounds. the mini moog changed the phase of music. bernie warrel described his playing of the mini moog as a woman. he felt a sexual experience when he touched the mini moog. he felt like he could control it how ever he wanted. which comes to the point where he said musicians have a deep connection with his instruments. which was true. instruments that he designed are meant to be played for performers. he said liver performances are very important. live performances are important in ways that it allows the artist and the fans interact into a deeper meaning. it makes an experience so much better than just listening to it. certain feelings go through your body that just makes you feel like your having the time of your life. bob moog (1934-2005)invented a great instrument that changed music deeply. he created synthesizers with new sounds by manipulating music, and sound waves into patterns by changing the frequency and duration. his instruments just brought out the best in musicians.
