• Director Hans Fjellestad on Moog – “Bob never brought up his work unless asked, and even then, he was quick to credit everyone else but himself. He was much more interested in listening to the ideas of others, often “synthesizing” seemingly unrelated bits of information into the genesis of a new design. He preferred to tell an old joke over a beer to talking about his many patents. And he loved to watch from the wings as a musician created something interesting and unexpected on one of his instruments.”
• Modular synth designer Paul Schreiber on Moog – My biggest “Moog highlight” though was at my second NAMM show, and there was this really big, noisy and over-crowded ‘reception’ in a tent. The place was absolutely jammed, and I wandered by myself way off to the far corner by this potted plant and there were 4 chairs empty. I sat in one, grabbed a beer, and PLOP, here sits Bob Moog. Now, his booth was 20 feet from mine, and we waved at each other but I never really talked to him that much. We chatted for like 20 seconds, and then here comes Roger Powell, Tom Oberheim and Dave Smith. Here are all these famous synth designers and one of the best rock keyboard players ever and *ME* (the former chemistry nerd that shot Estes rockets) sitting around and chatting.
• Times Online Robert Moog Obituary – From the ringtone of a mobile phone to the bleeps and thuds of the latest dance hit, electronically generated sound is now all pervasive. Yet though instruments to make electronic music had been devised as early as 1900, it was not until the 1970s that electronic music was widely heard — and it was played on the keyboards invented by the US engineer whose name became synonymous with the synthesizer, Robert Moog.
