Description
The Moog synthesizer "bent the course of music forever". In 1964, Bob Moog's homemade contraption unexpectedly became a sensation, changing the music world forever. The Beatles, The Doors, The Byrds, and Stevie Wonder soon discovered his synthesizer, and it featured in seminal film scores including Apocalypse Now and A Clockwork Orange. As the synth industry took off, Bob Moog struggled to keep up. Imitators copied his technology, and Japanese competitors overtook his work. Despite his success, he was going broke. This biography, written by Albert Glinsky, draws on exclusive access to Bob Moog's personal archives and interviews with his family and associates. It's a nuanced and often laugh-out-loud story of a legendary inventor who altered the course of music.
