This video captures a session with Dan Deacon, aka Dronepilot, in the Moog Sound Lab.
Deacon improvises a drone soundscape and explains how he works with control voltages and analog gear.
Technical details:
Deacon uses two Minitaurs and two MF-107 Freq-Boxes. To further expand his sound, Dan incorporates dueling MF-103 Phasers and a pair of CP-251 Control Processors.
Dan D proves yet again that he is a great sound artist and true boss.
That was a complete waste of time. My 6 year old nephew could do this and I am not sure it would be any more impressive.
He puts on an amazing live show.
Sounds like pipers tuning.
What’s amazing to me is how consistent the Moog sound is. Here’s a recording I made in 1978 using nothing but a Micromoog and the reverb module from a Model III, recorded onto an Otari 1/2 8-track. The tonalities Dan uses as well as the timbres reminded me so much of this piece I had to post it…

WOW!!!!!!
Really one of the smartest people making electronic music today. To me – if Mark Mothersbaugh and JG Thirlwell had a child it would be Dan Deacon. So glad to see Baltimore’s mad synth scientist at work in the moog lab. Thank’s for putting this up for us to watch.
