It's often considered by many, that the most frequently mispronounced word in Pop Culture is the brand name of a particular synthesizer - Moog. This Friday we'll not only learn how to pronounce this strange little name, but discuss the history of the synthesizer, how the Moog fits into the world of electronic music, and as always play some music.
If you want to get a head start on this week's topic, check out the Moog documentary that came out in 2005. Loosely, but tastefully done the film follows Moog Music founder, Robert Moog around as he talks to various artists and how they use the instrument he invented.
