The #moog matriarch has small white dots marking the position of the knobs. These are not distinguishable by touch. So, I had a friend add small lines in gray puff paint, including small dots at the top of each knob. Now that the paint is good and dry, it is slightly raised, so I can finally tweak by touch without using my magnifier! I feel like some people might think this looks bad, but oh well. I’m a very happy camper! #Synth #synthesis #semimodular #a11y #AccessibilityIsHotAF

Malmöfestivalen 2025Death and Vanilla | Malmöfestivalen 2025Genom att använda vintageinstrument som vibrafon, orgel, mellotron, tremologitarr och Moog-synthar sammanför Death and Vanilla 60- och 70-talets filmmusik, library music, tysk krautrock, fransk yé-yé-pop och psykedelisk pop. De njuter av värmen i äldre analoga instrument för att skapa ett mer organiskt ljud – där varje lös kabel och avvikande brus adderar till den rika atmosfären.När de skrev kontrakt med Fire Records 2015 släppte de det kritikerrosade albumet To Where The Wild Things Are. Döpt efter Maurice Sendaks barnbok består albumet av popmusik med en vild, drömsk och experimentell ådra – en hyllning till fantasin och förmågan att färdas till sinnets mer avlägsna och märkliga vrår. Lyxigt och tidlöst är deras EP California Owls ett reverbdränkt spektropop-spår indränkt i 60-talets psykedelika, medan de mörka och virvlande melodierna i Follow The Light har ett ”Walk Away Renée-tempo” (The Guardian). Are You a Dreamer? (2019) visade en stillsammare och mörkare sida av deras musik.Nu, 2025, låter Death and Vanilla som att allt är möjligt – och samtidigt som ingenting annat. Formade av Malmös karga industriella förflutna till nutid i skuggan av Öresundsbron, länkar de sin drömvärld till det europeiska fastlandet och en mörkare verklighet.

Electronic System is a project of the Belgian synthesizer legend Dan Lacksman.

He has performed under his own name, and in groups (most notably Telex). He was an early adopter of synth music, to the point where the first synthesizer he bought, just 3 years before the release of this song, was the first one in Belgium!

“Skylab” is a 14 minute long voyage through time and space. It’s definitely more of a lazy pleasure cruise than a hyperspace rush; you get plenty of time to appreciate the scenery.

And what scenery! The basis of the track is a sort of slow, jazzy strut, with a smooth bass part and a relaxed drum section. The dreamy electric piano lays down the primary texture for the song, which is embellished by confident Moog noodling.

The track was released in 1974 on the album Tchip.Tchip (Vol. 3), although a different version was released first in 1973 on a different version of the album called Electronic System 3, which is credited to “Dan Lacksman With Moog Synthesizer”.

Today (May 23) in 1934, Robert Moog was born. Moog synthesizers were of course used in the 60s by the Beatles, in the 80s by Gary Numan, and in the 90s by the Rentals, all to fantastic results. 🎹🔥

RIP Bob

As the dust settles on my #jamuary 21 getting cleared, I had also done a track for the 23rd. I was designing a sound and for some reason it brought some memories of the theme for Knight Rider. Then I started thinking about other #tv #shows of the #80s and decided to continue with that vibe. Except the drums are a bit more chaotic and extra texture on purpose that wouldn't have been period correct. A #RadioShack #moog completes this for the bass. #jamuary2025 #jam #music

"On October 12, 1964, [engineer and electronic music pioneer] Bob Moog unveiled the first modular voltage-controlled synthesizer [...]

What Bob designed was not wholly new, it sprung from a powerful new combination of existing ideas. The concepts, when combined with some elegant design choices, made a very powerful and revolutionary new system."
