Moog Music has announced GIANTS, a platform for legendary electronic musicians – the pioneers who propelled synthesizers and analogue instruments into the mainstream many years ago – to express themselves through the art of storytelling.
The new documentary series, filmed and produced by Moog Music, is about honouring and preserving the legacy of these artists and sharing their untold stories with the world.
The series will feature trailblazers like Moog synthesizer co-inventor Herb Deutsch, early modular synthesizer adopter Bernie Krause, modular synthesis legend Suzanne Ciani, and Mute Records founder Daniel Miller as they describe their passions, inspirations, origin stories, and never-before-heard revelations.
Through spoken interviews, original music, and visuals, these artists share their perspectives around how electronic music has evolved and provide context for their place in that story.
The first instalment of GIANTS focuses on Herbert Deutsch, co-inventor of the Moog modular synthesizer.
The composer, music educator, and friend and collaborator of Bob Moog journeys back in time to talk about some of music history’s most prolific moments and expand on “the perfect definition” of what music is and can be: sound organised in time.
