Deutsch had been making electronic music using a theremin, tape recorder, and single-pitch oscillator, a time-consuming process that involved splicing tape. In 1963, American engineer Robert Moog, who designed and sold theremins, met composer Herb Deutsch at a New York State School Music Association trade fair. In the early 1960s, electronic music technology was impractical and used mainly by experimental composers to create music with little mainstream appeal. Robert Moog with a Moog synthesizer in the 1970s In 1970, Moog Music released a portable, self-contained model, the Minimoog. With its ability to imitate instruments such as strings and horns, it threatened the jobs of session musicians, and was banned from use in commercial work for a period.
At its height of popularity, it was a staple of 1970s progressive rock, used by acts including Yes, Tangerine Dream, and Emerson, Lake & Palmer. In the late 1960s, it was adopted by rock and pop acts including the Doors, the Grateful Dead, the Rolling Stones, and the Beatles. The Moog synthesizer was brought to the mainstream by Switched-On Bach (1968), a bestselling album of Bach compositions arranged for Moog synthesizer by Wendy Carlos. Its oscillators can produce waveforms of different timbres, which can be modulated and filtered to shape their sounds ( subtractive synthesis). It can be played using controllers including keyboards, joysticks, pedals and ribbon controllers, or controlled with sequencers.

The Moog synthesizer consists of separate modules-such as voltage-controlled oscillators, amplifiers and filters, envelope generators, noise generators, ring modulators, triggers and mixers-which create and shape sounds, and can be connected via patch cords. He also introduced fundamental synthesizer concepts such as modularity and envelope generators. Moog's principal innovation was the voltage-controlled oscillator, which uses voltage to control pitch. He began developing the Moog synthesizer in response to demand for more practical and affordable electronic music equipment, guided by suggestions and requests from composers including Herb Deutsch, Richard Teitelbaum, Vladimir Ussachevsky and Wendy Carlos. It was the first commercial synthesizer, and is credited with creating the analog synthesizer as it is known today.īy 1963, Moog had been designing and selling theremins for several years. (later known as Moog Music) produced numerous models from 1965 to 1981, and again from 2014. Moog debuted it in 1964, and Moog's company R. I think that is why everyone sings along with that part of the song.The Moog synthesizer is a modular synthesizer developed by the American engineer Robert Moog. It’s not like sound it’s space in your head. And then the harmonies, you know, “ I love you, I love you,” and the harmonies come in, it goes bigger and bigger and bigger – but it’s space that it’s covering.
Things happen in the song, you obviously wouldn’t expect the flute solo and that takes it off in another space. There’s something about the space for me in the song and the emotion that’s floating through the spaces in that song. The lyric is one thing, and the emotion in the space in the arrangement of the song. You can watch the entire interview on our YouTube channel. Here are his thoughts on five key tracks. Lodge recently went in-depth on the forthcoming LP in an exclusive UCR interview. The collection features many of the Moody Blues' most-loved songs and some deeper tracks as performed by Lodge and his band during 2019 tour dates. The Royal Affair and After, a new live album from Lodge, will be released on Jan.
Lodge and singer-guitarist Justin Hayward have since toured separately, in addition to making solo albums.
