Bob Moog’s namesake analog devices have affected popular music in ways he might not have expected back in 1954 when he began building theremins with his father. Perhaps Bob Moog and his father were only trying to make something cool, to create a sound that as of yet was only in the realm of imagination, never dreaming how far their invention would take the Moog name. Whatever the original purpose, there is no doubt that Bob Moog has made his mark, and that modern music has been forever changed for the better. The past 50-plus years have been an adventurous time in music, with Moog’s inventions catapulting many styles of music into the future.
