The melodic music of the Moog

Available for over a year

Even if you don’t know the name Moog, you more than likely recognise the sound. Invented by Dr Robert Moog in the mid-60s, the Moog synthesiser changed musical history.

It is 10 years since Dr Moog died – and London's Barbican is holding three nights of tribute performances featuring Will Gregory - who's also one half of Goldfrapp - and his Moog Ensemble. Here’s a sample of the group playing Bach's Brandenurg Concerto No.3.
