    I realize this isn't Lisa's channel and she'll never see this. But I hope to one day tell her that The World She Wanted was truly transcendent and life changing for me. It really saved me during a difficult time.

      She has her own channel on here, that she does use herself. I ran across her on a video about the great Sean Reinert.

    Lisa's awesome. This was so cool, especially the relationships between tape, eight tracks and digital.
    Also, when she said she sold her car and hitched a ride to get the 2600 before Lenny Kravitz could take it, I felt that.

      Pretty sure Lisa was singing the tune of "are you gonna go my way" pointing at the 2600, the irony poor Lenny lol.

      Felt it hard, i went through a whole scenario involving my car and some furniture and a serge system then the fact i have kids to feed and transport sucked me back down to the ground. I support such decisions in those without similar responsibilities wholeheartedly.

    Could watch this for hours. Great portrait of a great artist with so much musical vision and awareness for the depth of sounds. It's so good to see that there are filmmakers around who care! Huge respect for the editing of this, too! It just makes so much sense, something sadly missing on many other movies about artists!

    My family was publishing an entertainment magazine in Buffalo, in the early '70's. I was still in high school, and had the coolest job of anyone I knew, going to concerts for free and interviewing rock, jazz and blues musicians. I was teaching myself guitar at the time, so meeting folks like BB King, Martin Barre, Rick Derringer etc. was a real inspiration. Around this time, Bob Moog had just moved his operation to Buffalo, and would stop by our production office regularly, to hang out, he was all about promoting his synthesizers then, and was giving them away to acts that he thought might use them. I saw performances by Herbie Hancock and the Edgar Winter group where Moog equipment was used. One day my mom asked me if I wanted a Moog synthesizer. She said: "Bob is giving them away, he said that if you want one, he will bring one over". At the time, I wasn't even certain that I knew what a Moog synthesizer was! (mom named the specific model, can't recall which) Mom said: "It's some kind of keyboard". I replied: "Mom, you know I'm a guitar player, tell Bob I said "thanks anyway". To this day I could kick myself. Seventeen year old me was an idiot. Bob was a genius. I feel honored to have known him. R.I.P. Bob Moog.

    Oh I’m so happy. I have had such a need for old school (analog) synth ambient music and because of this video discovered her work. I remember her from The Pedal Movie doc but hearing her music got me to look her up. Just amazing stuff.

      @MyVideos-fm7ug Рік тому

      She really IS a badass. Sort of an extension of Bob Moog in some ways. She’s a great representative for the instrument and moog as a whole, as she can continue to spread the word to future generations showing that the analog synthesizer was and will always be a force to be reckoned with. Moog sees this in her, so it only makes sense that they endorse her.
