About the film
--------------------------------
MOOG, the new documentary about Robert Moog, inventor of 
the
modern synthesizer, is a portrait of the legendary figure 
in music
and technology and his ideas about creativity, design, 
interactivity,
spirituality and his collaborations with musicians over 
the years.
MOOG was directed by Hans Fjellestad and produced by 
Fjellestad and
Ryan Page, who collaborated on FRONTIER LIFE (2002), a 
film about
Tijuana, Mexico, and its burgeoning electronic dance 
music scene.

Robert Moog has not only made prodigious contributions to 
modern
music and culture, but also has become a character within 
an unfolding
"American maverick inventor" mythology. Moog certainly 
walks and talks
the "mad scientist" part, complete with the fly-away 
white hair,
intense eyes, eccentric mannerisms and a head full of 
stories.

Moog explains that he "can feel what's going on in a 
piece of 
electronic
equipment... it's something between discovering and 
witnessing." And he
is convinced that many musicians come to "feel" a circuit 
in a similar 
way.
In fact, musicians make such strong emotional connections 
with the
electronics inside a Moog synthesizer that the inventor 
himself has 
reached
cult hero status.

The film was shot on location in Asheville, New York, Los 
Angeles, San
Francisco,  Tokyo and London, featuring appearances by 
Keith Emerson, 
Walter
Sear, Gershon Kinsgley, Jean-Jacques Perrey & Luke 
Vibert, Rick 
Wakeman, DJ
Spooky, Herb Deutsch, Bernie Worrell, Pamelia Kurstin, 
Tino Corp. with
Charlie Clouser, Money Mark, Mix Master Mike, and an 
eclectic mix of
performers.
