The Bananas track is definitely something Jean-Jacques Perrey would make, while Space Disco is definitely something Patrick Cowley would make. Love me those Hi-NRG triplets.
My first synth experience...circa '73...was on a school field trip! Fell in love with the greats (Edgar, Billy, ELP, etc...) before that...had to know what that sound was!!! Been a geek since...thnx 2 everyone who "Boldly went where no man has gone before...". 🎶🎶🎶👆✈️🌈
My grandad played me Kaleidoscopic Vibrations in 1985 when I was aged 6, it's effect on me was immediate and everlasting, Perry/Kingsley remain one of my favourite guilty pleasures to this day. To hear an homage to that particularly silly style fills me with genuine joy, thank you.
If there is a goal in the field of being a musician and being a youtuber at the same time, then you have both achieved it and absolutely nailed it: Interesting and entertaining videos seasoned with a large portion of expertise, a lot of humor and a lot of musical skill are more fun than 90% of all other, pure marketing videos.
Moog and whoever has these classic units like these has to let you borrow them! Incredible history lesson, music lesson, music, and advertisements for them. You get to play them, they get to sell them, win/win.
So Moogy 😃 Monstrously great new compositions, Mr.B! Your skills are mighty! I got to sit next to a Model 10 in a lounge in the Moog Factory in Asheville in 2014 😍 Isn't it adorable? That multi-output oscillator is dreamy. Thanks for the walkthrough-by-module. Great video, Alex! Congrats on getting this beautiful thing in your studio. 🍌
Love the Space Disco - music, sound + british humor - unbeatable! PS: if somebody would start a petition to rerelease Wendy Carlos' Masterpieces, I would buy them all! I heard that Wendy didn't want her music on Spotify and I certainly respect her decision, but perhaps someone could convince her, to allow new CDs and / or Vinyls! Perhaps we should start a game, that fans (preferably owning at least one synthesizer ;-) ) of you try to come up with 1 or 2 min hommage remake of their favourate track of Wendy .... Thanks for your wonderful videos!
@@AlexBallMusic totally, I’d borrow one too if I had the chance…see if they’ll let u send it over after ur done with it ;) It’ll be the story of the traveling moog, no pant’s necessary
Absolutely brilliant demonstration of a super cool vintage piece that can make your head explode, and love your jams Alex, I really appreciate what you do 🍻
How did I miss this when it came out? Might have corresponded to when I was on vacation. Anyway glad to see this! Always find your vids so informative (and fun musically).
I didn't realise how big the 10 was until this video. Now I understand why it costs so much, ( I own a Moog Source and i am a Eurorack person, both are much smaller!). 👍
If we ever enter a nuclear holocaust and zombies run rampant looking for brains, there would be a variant of these zombies who were former synthesists and they would be wandering the broken landscape looking for "knobs" and Alex would be their king. Another great video on a synth icon. Please please keep them coming.
That´s what RU-vid is made for: VIDEOS FROM THE ONE AND ONLY ALEX B.! :-D. Thanks a lot! Especially for finally teaching us Germans how to REALLY pronounce "Moog" correctly ;-)
I actually collect Moog Modulars. My first synth was a Moog System 35, I found it at a Goodwill for $10. I wasn't really sure what it was, but I soon found out that I could make music with it, so I plugged it into my cheap Sears cassette recorder and made multiple silly albums with it (Bananas is a lot like something I would've made with my friends when we were teenagers)! I still have the hundreds of tapes I recorded between the ages of 13 and 18!
Another great video, good info and most important: fantastic micro songs! And that sound, wow! I even get the wow experience with my only Moog, the Werkstatt-01. Thanx Alex for putting all this time and work into your videos, I usually watch them a few times.
Great work, Alex, and thank you. That Model 10 is still for sale, only £9.7k! And that's reduced from £12k+!! Mrs. Y sadly did not listen favourably to my business case... 😢
When you showed us the mixer saturation, I just knew you were going to sweep that ladder filter as well. I was not disappointed :) The only Moog I own is a Mavis, which is a neat little thing and sounds pretty great, but I'd love to be able to mess around with a big Moog modular! A real piece of history.
Yeah, you can see the whole waveform squash into a lollipop in your DAW. The filter had to be swept. Mavis - don't think I've used one to date. Little semi-modular dude?
@@AlexBallMusic That's the one - originally a project from a workshop that was run by someone, I believe. It's nice for experimenting and is quite capable of meaty bass lines. Also has a wavefolder, which is unusual for a Moog.
Please... where can I get a ticket to the Space Disco? Your twin abilities of making both interesting documentaries about legendary music equipment and side-splittingly catchy tunes is highly enviable! 😇
DotCom designs were great for control voltage generators, but sonically no comparison to the MOOG audio. However the good clones being made are indeed very close sonically, very nice and less expensive.
