Making Music with Moog
On May 23, 2014 the music world celebrated Bob Moog’s birthday and 50th anniversary of his Moog synthesizer with radio tributes and concerts. If Robert Moog (1934-2005) was alive today he’d be 80. The pioneer in the field of electronic music invented his revolutionary device that changed the face of music in 1964. Keith Emerson (Emerson, Lake & Palmer,) The Rolling Stones, Stevie Wonder, The Beatles, Byrds, The Beach Boys, Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock and countless musicians and bands heard what the Moog could do and they had to have it.
When Carlsbad, California’s Museum of Making Music unveiled the first ever Moog exhibit several years ago in partnership with Bob Moog Foundation based in Asheville, NC, Keith Emerson performed on the Moog in a magical music moment.
