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.
