Bob Moog is dead

Robert Moog, also known as Bob Moog, inventor of the Moog synthesizers (for example, the fantastic Minimoog) has died today at the age of 71. I feel sad because it’s partly owing to him that I am such an enthusiast of electronic music. I remember listening in awe at a record called Go Moog at my uncle’s place when I was a kid. It was a demo of the various Moog synthesizers and I specially loved Popcorn.

Thanks Bob for everything!
