Four months ago they presented the Moog movie at my university, and Dr. Moog himself two days later. It's odd that I saw him alive in person just last April, but I'm very grateful I did, because I knew I'd never get another chance like this again. I still wear my Moog T-Shirt every day. |

I was very sad when i found this out, the press clipping about his death is on my wall in my house in London, right next to a portrait of Ted Hughes drawn by Sylvia Plath. He was a great man, he had great machines, i will miss him. |

Well, in talking about fond memories, he presented his latest Minimoog model at his talk. He played it a bit and turned some knobs. He also played a well-known piano piece on it, but unfortunately I forgot which one. He also spoke of how his synths weren't really accepted much at first in the 1960s or '70s, but once some hit song featured a Moog on it, then everyone else wanted a Moog, even if they didn't know anything about synths. He mentioned the first public recording that featured a Moog, though I forgot which. I think it preceded Switched on Bach though. But yeah, it was a real honour to see him. |

I've watched about 80% of his documentary thus far. Had to break as i am going to leave soon for a couple of hours. Totally awesome footage. Good insight. I love how pure and genuine he comes across. Knowing he died while watching this depressed me a bit. Knowing that someone important and actually important to society died and on top of that he was a nice gentle man. :/ I am glad this thread occured because it gave me the oppurtunity to dive deeper into the information |

just bought the documentary today. I watched the whole thing but was also kind of throwing a party, so there were distractions that caused me to miss a bunch of dialogue. The part with DJ Spooky is pretty cool, as was every other part that I was actually able to watch, but I definately need to see this again. |

just saw this last night.. what an amazing guy. The humblest american i've ever seen. Can't imagine anyone else linking organic vegtables to synthesised sounds. Seeing him walk around tokyo in his beret was funny. RIP to a legend. The documentary was very well put togther. Nice to see Luke Vibert up there although its a pity he wasn;t interviewed. Its funny cos i saw the exile/native instruments showpiece vid before this and in it we see a facinating contrast in technology. |
