This series of concerts at The Capstone Theatre taking place from 21st - 24th November 2024, celebrates the 60th anniversary of the invention of the Moog synthesiser by Robert Moog in 1964.
The Moog, a name synonymous with electronic music, was the first ever commercial synthesiser. Through its revolutionary concept of analogue modular synthesis, the instrument heralded a succession of technological developments in music throughout the 60s and 70s and was a key feature in the most innovative electronic and experimental music, progressive rock and jazz fusion of the time.
Following a period in electronic music production in the 80s and 90s dominated by digital synthesis, more recently analogue modular synthesisers have returned to the centre stage in electronic music, with artists enthralled by the instruments' richness of timbre and their tactile sensitivity and playability.
