Rob Schwimmer- Moog Active!
"I now own and treasure 3 of Bob Moog's legendary theremins--a Melodia, an
Etherwave, and now the Etherwave-Pro. I used the Etherwave on the Simon and
Garfunkel tour to play the solo on The Boxer--People would go nuts! It also
features prominently in my band, Polygraph Lounge. I own and love my Moogerfooger
pedals and am using the Voyager in the studio this very afternoon!" Rob Schwimmer

Mauri Sanchis
"The album that attracted me to music was Vangelis' Chariots of fire. After that came Jean Michel Jarre's Rendez-Vous, followed by albums by Mike Oldfield, Alan Parsons, Rick Wakeman, Emerson, Lake & Palmer and a long list of musicians joined by a very peculiar sound, the Moog Sound.
Funny thing is that already more than 20 years passed and such sound still is present in my modern favorite albums from Marcus Miller, Roy Hargrove, Medeski Martin & Wood and, even, Black Eye Peas. This is the reason why becoming part of the Moog family as an endorser makes me so proud. A sound, a name that has been part of my life and now I will be able to use in my music thanks to the new Moogs that offer both the most modern technology with their 100% analog character." Mauri Sanchis
From now on, we will see Mauri playing live with the new Moog Little Phatty Stage Edition. |
