Walter Sear's Moog Modular

When the Bob Moog Foundation was in New York City, Michelle Moog-Koussa and I were able to swing by Sear Sound to see Walter Sear's Moog modular... and then we were lucky enough to play it! The video was hastily filmed with an iPad, and the modular was hastily played through an Ampeg Gemini V amp. So, yeah... basically you're not only watching me play a historically significant Moog, but you're also witnessing the very first time I've ever played a Moog modular. Thanks to Michelle, huge thanks to Roberta, and infinite thanks to Walter Sear and Bob Moog.

I was once at some Columbia building uptown and there was a sign that said "Columbia Princeton electronic music center" which is awesome. I'm sure it's been 80's or 90s'd out over the years If it is even still there. still pretty cool.

[AutomaticGainsay]

@orazdow It's still there! That's also where the RCA Mark II synthesizer was housed. It may still be housed there... although I don't think it's fully functional.

@AutomaticGainsay ah bummer, yes someday!

[AutomaticGainsay]

@101balletfreak Michelle Moog-Koussa! :)

[AutomaticGainsay]

@ZwamTek There is a video made at this exact time of her doing just that... but it'll probably be posted on the BMF YouTube channel!

[ZwamTek]
