Am I correct in saying that The Beatles were pioneers in the use of the Moog, and Wings the Minimoog in the mid-70’s?
And if you want to hear what the latest Moog sounds like, listen to this. Wear headphones as what you listen to is 'panned' continuously from left to right, and back, rather the way Carloss was doing with Audacity with some of his music.
Electronic music pioneer Suzanne Ciani and multidisciplinary visual artist Scott Kiernan invite you to reimagine conventional ideas of music, sound, and expression through a delicate balance of mystery and order in this experimental piece composed entirely with the new Moog.

Incidentally, apart from the artwork, I don't find the music above particularly creative. Why would you want to have the same chord/harmony going for three whole minutes? And the same with the melody. And it's not a 'melody' .. it's just a pattern of notes. All this 'music bending' is a bit way out for me. I think I will just stick to an Arranger Keyboard, or, as in my case, an Arranger Organ.
