Moog (Documentary)

About Moog...
Director: Hans Fjellestad

[@materialistadialectico4884]

"When I'm thinking about how to solve a particular problem, I can think about it for days and weeks and nothing will happen. Then, someday when I'm cutting the grass or I'm having a hamburger or I wake up in the middle of the night, the idea would be there. I think it would be egotistical of me to say that I thought of it. What happened is I opened my mind and the idea came thru and entered my head. These ideas, I don't have to dig up anything, sometimes I don't even have to be thinking, and there they are. It's something between discovering and witnessing."

Platonic forms?

[@RonWylie-gk5lc]

I'm an artist not a musician but we ALL do that, If your an engineer or a builder or anything else we all come up with stuff when we are doing other stuff, nothing special about that

[@1Live2Love3Thrive]

Thank you

[@duegui]

@@RonWylie-gk5lc nothing special about your opinion

[@t.j.9226]

An absolute legend. People tend to overlook the manner in which Moog (together with Buchla and some others) revolutionised music forever with his inventions. Electronic music is so ubiquitous nowadays that people think it has been like that for ages, but forget that these endless possibilities were once only ideas in the heads of genuises like Robert Moog.

[@Maladaptation_ThiesWrobel]

Revolutionary man. I am in electronic music since 1984. he is my hero. I just bought my Behringer Poly D „minimoog“ remake. Thank you Mr Moog!

[@longfade]

Everybody should see this, and very few will. It's a beautiful portrait of a great man.

[@NikCan66]

Brilliant and informative for lovers ofvelectronics and music

[@SouthCat]

I agree.

[@lindaeasley5606]

It wasn't any single artist or genre that revolutionized music in the 20th century. It was two men.
Les Paul and
Robert Moog
Mr Moog allowed music to reach new heights and expanded the capabilities of musicians to create new sounds.
RIP Mr Moog

[@MoiLiberty]

His expression about ideas, being something between discovering and witnessing... exactly right

[@generoley]

To the memory of Robert Moog... your Minimoog changed the course of my life and I have loved synthesizers ever since. Thank you so very much.

[@JewelzFin]

I'm just now coming across this video. And what funny is that I just purchased my very first Moog yesterday. I bought a Moog One 16 voice. And I can't wait for it to arrive.

[@quilannlewis3302]

I really like how they talked about using the synth sexually, because for the most part its all about how you feel while performing.

[@MrSpasticdancer]

bob moog i think had the biggest individual impact on modern music. synthesizers are now the most prolific and widely used instrument

[@anthonyguffy2438]

i was in the MOOG builiding today in AVL NC putting tiles in the new bathrooms.. lol i had no idead DR> MOOG or who he was or what MOOG meant kinda knew it had to do with music and Synthesizers. So imma watch this and learn . i just started watching and already enjoy it

[@Delicateduality]

I love that you looked it up!

[@anthonyguffy2438]

@@Delicateduality I'm glad I did. Glad to find out Dr. Moog is from Avl and how long he has been helping the music game with his synthesizers

This is a really great look into the history of Moog! Thank You!

[@BenJSavage]

That monophonic segment was epic. One man's trash is another man's treasure.

[@joannawhite1841]

Thank You. For sharing the Blessings of Dr. Robert Moog.

[@unclemick-synths]

"It only plays one note at a time!" ❤ Great story Rick! 🤣

[@jupitermarx]

Bob is a legend, an icon. Probably one of the only synth makers that could be considered a household name. Even to people who know nothing about synthesis but just love music! To we synth geeks he's our Gandolf
🧙‍♂️🪄✨✨

[@HauntedHarmonics]

Been interested in synths and electronic music my whole life, and just learned recently that Bob Moog is credited with inventing the VCO and the envelope generator.
This man almost singlehandedly built the entire foundation upon which all electronic music sits. Insane when you think about it.

[@simonkormendy849]

33:44 Sampling found sounds, cutting them up, putting bits of them back together, and mixing them, goes back to the early French Musique Concrete electronic music techniques.

[@larrywerther9454]

Bob Moog is such a wonderful person

[@drwhiteguru]

The best part is that funny interaction with Bob, Rick Wakeman and Bernie Worrell. That was hilarious so funny I had to watch it again this morning @ around between 38:00-42:00.
I met Bob once at his booth at the NAMM show and talked to him for five minutes. Just got a Mini Moog last week, it’s great!

[@michelvondenhoff6307]

A MiniMoog is An experience not a synth 🎹. Got a Subsequent, fantastic!

[@bejeweledpro]

Seeing Bob Moog playing Taiko no Tatsujin is something I didn't know I needed until now. Phenomenal documentary. Rest in peace Bob! You were a true visionary.

[@adbana2800]

I love what Robert says about the importance of live music, that performers can interact with musicians and create a community right there on the spot!
Damn right! Been a professional/semi professional musician for 31 years, and live music really needs to grow!!!

[@liselottefrejdig1112]

I remember when he was in Stockholm to get the Polar Prize. He had a day with his fans. Very nice.

[@RonWylie-gk5lc]

A great man, I cant imagine a world without the Moog can you!

[@andrewkostelnyk272]

Without this instrument which was so groundbreaking bands/musicians would nt have existed-Kraftwerk Tangerine Dream Keith Emerson Vangelis Tomita Rick Wakeman the list goes on forever -big respect to Robert Moog!!

[@supernowa]

Kraftwerk did invent electronic music, using among other things ...moogs.... that is the real contribution to modern music moog made, also with the help from Jean Michel Jarre.... not a single word were mendtioned .of these artists

[@aeropilot4419]

@@supernowa well, WE know about them … isn’t that enough ??

[@gotham61]

@@supernowa Neither of them were ever closely associated with Moog. JMJ used mostly EMS and ARP instruments in the early days, and while Ralf Hutter did use a Minimoog in the 70s, Kraftwerk were best known for creating their own instruments.

[@logankelley112]

Happy Birthday Dr Moog! Thank you for your gifts of music and love of synthesis. It had changed my life for the better

[@gotham61]

I'm glad this film was made before Bob Moog and so many others who appear had passed.
RIP Bob Moog, Gershon Kingsley, Walter Sear, Keith Emerson, Jean-Jacques Perrey, Sun Ra, and Bernie Worrell.

I saw this dvd at the library in nice dvd cover packaging....now, I can just watch it in full online...thank you......

[@mike54zzm]

Hi, I was at this show and would love a copy...can you give me the title of the dvd?

[@HayTatsuko]

Great docco. Thanks for sharing!

[@horowizard]

I don't know why Wendy Carlos is not featured in this documentary. Switched On Bach did so much to popularize the Moog Synthesizer. Check out the early 16 Track Two Inch Tape Machine at 27:42.
It's tremendous!

[@aeropilot4419]

This is about Bob Moog, not Wendy … Switched On Bach is mentioned, as is Emerson and Wakeman who, I would argue, brought the sounds of the synthesizer to more people than Carlos

[@horowizard]

@@aeropilot4419 You would be flawed in that argument for two reasons. Carlos, being an early adopter of the instrument actually worked very closely with Moog to develop many of the components that became common in their systems. Also, it was Carlos' work that Emerson initially heard which brought the instrument to his attention in the first place. Emerson and Wakeman are better known for their virtuosity and stagecraft. When you think of Carlos you immediately associate with Moog. Know your history.

[@hifijohn]

switched on bach was a very popular album.

[@machinismus]

@@horowizard yeah it is surprising that she isn't featured. every other article/video on Moog history mentions her.

[@gotham61]

She's a very private person and rarely appears on camera. I suppose you can just add this clip in as an added bonus. ua-cam.com/video/wTaZxI1x3rI/v-deo.html

7:22 best moment with Bob Moog sitting in the back. hahaha

[@doom705]

haha love the Wagon Christ style animation at the beginning ! :P

[@dorengarcia7925]

I used to work at tower records... There was always some customer who thought that acoustic music was always better... like all you needed to to to evaluate music is its not electric. I'd say to them that music was ruined when the Piano replaced the Clavier. Totally silly. You use the best tools you can get. Now its DAWs. Nothing will replace the old stuff of course, we still have shovels, but we have backhoes too now.

[@ramencurry6672]

Usually the dislike of electric instruments music are from people born before the 1940s so that person must have been really old and probably passed away.

[@t55a2]

How did the customer listen to his acoustic recordings, I wonder?

[@jockojohn3294]

How perfect......Just think how many great things we have started out......In my little shop down in the basement....... :)

Everyone should watch this at least once. Even those who do not create music.

[@alejandroberea2570]

yes Bob you connect to us through your creation, and your creation connects us with endless possibilities, thank you Bob.. now BTW can you send some sort of message to you team on earth and tell them to lower the price of the Moog one? that could connect us even more! I hope you're listening

Moog was going belly up in 1970 when the Thomas Organ Co. Invested in them to get Moog on the map. But no credits at all given to the Thomas Organ Co.

[@Doucettedon]

Interesting to see Robert expressing some disdain for digital music much the same way early reviewers were suspect of electronic music.

I wonder if he knew Bob Yannes of SID and Ensoniq fame? I am from the Asheville area originally and was living there in 2005 when he passed.
