You and me both, my friend. I could listen to these synth pioneers and passionate enthusiasts talk about the history of electronic music for days on end. Every new detail or anecdote as fascinating as the last one. I'd have loved to have an extended version with even more of the original interviews.

Bought my first, and probably last, Moog last year, the Grandmother, on four years of interest free credit. I was ill when it finally arrived. I was playing it in bed, on my lap with headphones, just ecstatic. When I was well enough to walk, we brought it down to the studio like David moving the Ark of the Covenant, we were playing horns and hand percussion in a procession happily shouting. One of the happiest moments of my life, up there with the birth of my child. The Grandmother was a huge problem for me in the studio. It just made the exact sound I'd been trying to achieve through other means for 20 years of electronic music production and destruction. What a waste of prime life. For weeks, into months, I couldn't work on songs, I just tracked and tracked, playing, exploring, modulating the Grandmother. I love that synth. And thanks to the product manager who saw the Grandmother project through to completion. A real inspired individual there. So sad to see the Grandmother eventually fall to the black and silver mob of uninspired nobodies. No offense.

It's amazing to learn all about the synthesizers from the 60s and 70s. I'm also a big fan of I Monster!

I don’t believe I’ve ever seen an interview of Alan R. Pearlman before. It is incredible to see so many great minds in this industry whom created the backbone of what artists consider musical electronic sound and even pushed technology in voltage control as well. If it weren’t for them and others unknown we wouldn’t have the innovative instruments or software that we have today at such reasonable prices compared to the beginning. Thank you for creating/posting this video!

This is brilliant Dave, such a pleasure! It really paints the picture of the history and development of electronic instruments well, in such an interesting and inspiring way, and there's some really great interviews in there. So wonderful getting that interview with Alan Pearlman before he passed away. Wow.... won't be the last time I watch this one. Well done, and thank you!

20:44 I'm a proud owner of an R.A.Moog Minimoog model D #79 (1079) and a muSonics model D #227 (1227). I also proudly own all the three types of oscillator boards these Minimoogs had. The original OSC board (from the metal-back ones), the "old" OSC board (starting with MoogMusic), and the "new" most stable osc board with 9 pots. The serial numbers indicate three things: 1) It became muSonics before they sold 230 Minimoogs. 2) The filter board only in these earliest Minimoogs with the black metal background have matched transistors, meaning all the Minimoogs until MoogMusic have the same legendary magic Moog sound since all the later Minimoogs did not have matched transistors in the transistor ladder filter board, so the leather-back (non-metal back) Minimoogs all sound a bit different from each other. The third thing is that I can pass stereo sound from two legendary Moog filters for sound magic :-) (just flexing) The magic sound is partially due to the unobtanium vintage VCA circuitry (definitely not the modern surface mount ones) so the later ones have most of the magic too ;-)

@hakonsoreide 3 года назад

I bought this documentary and the album three years ago, and since then, I've watched the documentary a few times, and it's been one of the most listened-to albums in my music collection. Fascinating stories and amazing music. And it's a very important documentary that it would be too late to make not many years later. Well done. This will be one of those videos I will share and recommend, just as I have recommended the paid-for version to others before.

@entropybentwhistle 3 года назад

Thanks for making this available on YT, Dave. I bought the download when it first came out, but this is synth history gold and every electronic musician needs to have access like it was in a library.

Thanks for sharing this. Good to see Herb Deutsch interview. I think his impact is often very much forgotten. Without him there might never have been a Moog Synthesizer.

@TheScreamingFrog916 3 года назад

This is great! I too, wanted a Mini Moog, when I was a teenager, back in the 70s, but could not afford. Recently, I bought my first Moog, a Subharmonicon. It is just the combination of elements that I was looking for, and so happy to finally have a real Moog, in my studio. Lately I'm also interested in the "west coast" synth style, and so I'm also enjoying the Buchla part of this video. It is a wonderful time to be into all kinds of electronic music, and synthesizers. So much good stuff available now. Special shout out to Korg Volca series, and Behringer, for their good sounding, affordable Synth gear. Thanks so much for making and sharing this! Best wishes for your continued success.

Dave, this blows my mind. I can't believe you got this much amazing content out of Herbert Deutsch. This is what the Moog Music RU-vid channel should have done. Thank you so much for this amazing Documentary. This is like infusion for a synth nerd. Also, why RU-vid didn't recommend this video to me until now is beyond me.

@nilegriefland4867 3 года назад

Nice to see that this documentary starts off with Herb Deutsch who I met in 1978 when I was a student @ Hofstra Univ. in Hempstead, NY. Then moves on to Bob Moog, who I bumped into on the streets of Boston and spent a pleasant afternoon with chatting to. Bob was in town doing a talk for the AES about his struggle getting the name MOOG back for his usage. He was using Big Briar @ the time + fighting to legally be able to use his own name on his own products. Of course I got to know Daniel Miller via my involvement with the Detroit techno scene + the London Acid House scene from my years involved with Psychic TV. I met Tom Oberheim via my friend Jeff Carvalho who was interviewing him for the relaunch @ a Red Bull Academy event in Boston and we spent a nice day + evening together. I met Alan Pearlman @ an ARP event @ Berklee Music School + got to tell him about my special friend Dennis Colin. I became close to Dennis Colin via his daughter + it's a real heartbreaker to see him again. So nice to see that you captured much of what he told me before he left us. Who am I ???

@humanbeing_ 3 года назад

Who and more importantly *WHY* would someone give this a thumbs-down? You've got nothing better to do that hate on amazing content that they put their heart & soul into? And considering the time & effort required to get the interviews with people that were instrumental (coincidental pun) in the creation & progression of Synthesizers and Synthesis? Just ridiculous...

@joserancel6255 3 года назад

@pleggli 3 года назад

@@joserancel6255 It is also weird to expect that 100% of everyone who stumbles upon a video on youtube will like it. I mean we are currently at 0.5% thumb downs including mine that has nothing to do with the video content. Not really something worth wondering about.. I don't hate the video at all but I still thumbed down, it's really strange to assume that everyone that thumbs down a video hates it like the top level comment in this thread seems to suggest. Also, btw, the hover text on the thumbs down button says 'dislike', not 'hate'.

@MartijnCalkhoven 3 года назад

I've only recently dipped my toes in the world of hardware synthesis, but this documentary is really eye-opening. I grew up with computers and I know how to build a PC, but the way these pioneers built musical instruments by essentially taming raw electricity is so fascinating! It makes me aware of how little I understand about the electronics I own, and how stupidly advanced they all are, compared to 40+ years ago.

I’d never heard the Mellotron/Chamberlin story, even though I have the Chambertron Rack extension. Crazy to think that the Mellotron probably would not exist if Harry Chamberlin had hired a different window washer that day, or just wasn’t playing the instrument when Franzen was there.
