  • Finally! A look at a Moog modular synthesizer!
    Despite Moog being the most famous synth brand ever, it's historically been difficult for me to get hold of Moogs for numerous reasons, so when I found out that there was a Model 10 reissue lurking in the UK, I begged GAK Music Emporium to let me borrow it.
    If you're interested in buying this instrument, the link is here: www.gak.co.uk/en/moog-model-1...
    Thank you also to Michelle Moog-Koussa at the Bob Moog Foundation, Moog Music, Marc Doty and Vincent Michaels for their help with photos, brochures and information.
    If you want the music from the video, stems of the music from this video, exclusive sample packs and to be involved in Q+As then check out my Patreon: / alexballmusic

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 ....

    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!
