Moog - ICA
The ICA and Plexifilm present MOOG, a new documentary about Robert Moog, inventor of the modern synthesizer, and pioneer of the electronic music scene as we know it today. MOOG is a portrait of a legendary figure in music and technology and his ideas about creativity, design, interactivity and spirituality, as well as his collaborations with musicians over the years. Directed by Hans Fjellestad, the film features a host of musical talents inspired and influenced by the Moog synthesizer, including Keith Emerson, Sun Ra, Walter Sear, Jean-Jacques Perrey & Luke Vibert, Rick Wakeman, DJ Spooky, Herb Deutsch, Bernie Worrell, Mix Master Mike and more. Many of this eclectic mix of performers (from Stereolab to The Album Leaf, Tortoise and Money Mark) also collaborated on the original soundtrack to the film, recently released by Hollywood Records.
