The melodic music of the Moog

Today

Available for over a year

Even if you don鈥檛 know the name Moog, you more than likely recognise the sound. Invented by Dr Robert Moog in the mid-60s, the Moog synthesiser changed musical history. It allowed musicians to create electronic sounds and manipulate them using changes in electrical voltage 鈥� and a new era in music began. It is 10 years since Dr Moog died 鈥� and London's Barbican is holding three nights of tribute performances featuring Will Gregory - who's also one half of Goldfrapp - and his Moog Ensemble. Here鈥檚 a sample of the group playing Bach's Brandenurg Concerto No.3.
