Moog : The Movie - Feat: MMM & Money Mark

Moog: The Movie - Feat: MMM & Money Mark:

I bumped into the movie trailer on accident... And was amazed by this guy and his whole history, and the movie.

In a nutshell, he's the mad scientist behind early organs, synthesizers, keyboard and other various electronic equipment.

He says "I can feel what's going on in a piece of electronic equipment... it's something between discovering and witnessing"

The movie explores Moog's collaborations with musicians over the years, and his ideas about creativity, design, interactivity and spirituality.

What caught my eyes and ears was who was appeared in it:

Money Mark, Mix Master Mike, DJ Spooky, Herb Deutsch, Keith Emerson, Walter Sear, Gershon Kinsgley, Jean-Jacques Perrey & Luke Vibert, Rick Wakeman, Bernie Worrell, Pamelia Kurstin, Tino Corp. with Charlie Clouser, and an eclectic mix of other performers.

You gotta check out the trailer!!! (http://stream.qtv.apple.com/qtv/plexifilm/moogshorttrailer_ref.mov) Insanity (in a good way) at it's finest!!!

The picture being 300dpi, you could make a nice high res poster of it.

[Friis gal]

"MOOG in theaters now"

[knoepfchen]

[laurie_hammy]

Dunno if it has come out here in Australia yet :confused: Hopefully soon :cool:

[SerialWaxKiller]

pretty sure it was only in limited theaters in Jan & Feb.... Now just have to wait for the DVD in May...

[laurie_hammy]

Completely off topic but dont ya reckon in this photo http://www.zu33.com/moog/images/gallery/bimbos_wide.jpg the guy on the far right looks like the nerdy dude from Ghostbusters ? haha Or if anyone has seen the movie "Phonebooth" and ya see the bad guy right at the end, it looks a bit like him too. hahahaha IM OUT !

[BroomHead]

Dick Hyman, who released "Moog: The Electric Eclectics of Dick Hyman", used the same moog organs a lot. The Beastie have given a shout out to Hyman before in "Root Down", and similarly, MMM makes the cameo in that movie about moog. I thought I should just link that up for those who were thinking, "What the hell is MMM doing in there?"

Does anyone agree with me ? or am I just a dum ass ?

BTW -- There's a huge article on Moog and related music in the third issue of Grand Royal, which wints posted in the press section.

[zorra_chiflada]

that's frickin' cool! (y)

[Documad]

It apparently already played here and I didn't notice. :(

It was only played here at the Adelaide Film Festival, because I remember they had t-shirts on tour promoting it towards the end of the Australian leg.

I'm not sure if it'll be shown anywhere else, but Stomp Australia will be selling it on DVD here shortly I think. Maybe that's the best way to catch it.

word!

[Laver1969]

I believe this was released this past Tuesday. Did anyone pick it up?

I'm going to try and pick it up this weekend.

[Laver1969]

They had to "special order" it for me and should take a week or so.

[Laver1969]

I just finished watching this. And it is definitely for the serious hardcore electronica/synthesizer fans.

It's a pretty interesting story about the whole man/machine connection. There are short parts with $Mark and MMM performing. And another short "scene" with $Mark and Moog.

This guy really was a pioneer.

Also, in the link with me and MMM...i remembered MMM had a Moog cap on. :)

Killer info.."KIller". :D (y) :p

[Documad]

The DVD is finally available on Netflix. It hasn't been getting great reviews.

[fonky pizza]

I just saw it yesterday but I was really expecting more musical demonstrations and the pieces of music in the movie are quite short, but I find it quite interesting.
