If you like music and you like inventors, go see Moog. Bob Moog sees his Moog synthesizers as part of the cosmic order of things -- he never planned that they would come into being, he thought that they would be for experimental music fans who wanted to create new kinds of noises, and he never thought they would be used for tonal, keyboard-driven sounds. One chance meeting led to another chance meeting, which led to a chance demo, and we ended up with Switched On Bach.

  The Moog is an analog instrument.  Bob Moog had no expectation that it would always work, and he says he was often very nervous at concerts.  He talks about being able to feel the sounds by looking at the circuit board, and he's such a gentle, entrancing guy that you have to believe him.  You can tune the circuits and fiddle with the sounds, live.

People hated this analog synthesizer when it first came out.  One interviewer stared at Moog and said, "Don't you feel guilty for what you've done?"

Moog changed the face of music.  He started as a theremin guy, and one thing just led to another.  Sometimes you just can't plan ahead of time.
