stevewin Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 Finally someone who actually did change the world (of music anyway) Silent thread?
Wacka Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 I think that for a while his factory was in the GEX/Super Flea building in Cheektowaga.
stevewin Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 A silent thread for the man who created sound? 414423[/snapback] The irony is deafening
Dennis in NC Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 I think that for a while his factory was in the GEX/Super Flea building in Cheektowaga. 414418[/snapback] The factory was in Williamsville, in an old slaughterhouse at the end of Academy St. Then, they moved it to the GEX/Superflea site on Walden. I was an electronics technician there. When it was in Wmsvl, it was the most fun job I ever had. When they moved, they knuckled down to a big production environment, and took all the fun out of it. I remember attending the garage sale at Bob Moog's house before he moved to NC. Man, was that a wonderland of cool stuff for electronic music junkies!
Mickey Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 I think he co-invented it with Walter Carlos who did the music for "A Clockwork Orange" and then later, became a woman if I'm not mistaken.
Surfmeister Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 I remember walking by his place in Williamsville when I was a kid. It was cool
Kelly the Dog Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 I think he co-invented it with Walter Carlos who did the music for "A Clockwork Orange" and then later, became a woman if I'm not mistaken. 414592[/snapback] According to this, Walter, now Wendy, just later adapted it and it didn't sound like they invented it together. http://nytimes.com/2005/08/22/technology/2...artner=homepage

Talonz Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 I think that for a while his factory was in the GEX/Super Flea building in Cheektowaga. 414418[/snapback] Off subject: I live around the corner from the Super Flea.... I go there every so often just to check out the junk. Remember the cantina scene in Star Wars? Ok, that is what the place looks like now. Keep ahold of your wallets
gmac17 Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 And there is no relation whatsoever with Moog (the company) from East Aurora, right?
stevewin Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 And there is no relation whatsomentever with Moog (the company) from East Aurora, right? 414867[/snapback] Did Moog Inc. invent the Moog synthesizer?No. Robert Moog, another genius inventor and a cousin of Bill Moog, invented the synthesizer. By doing a search on “Moog and synthesizers”, it’s possible to find several websites devoted to this topic and to locate parts for the synthesizers Moog As part of my own personal trivia, Moog was the first company to reject me for employment as a graduating engineering student from college.
Dennis in NC Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 Was it the old Chalmers gelatin factory? 414783[/snapback] You are probably correct about the gelatin factory. The slaughterhouse thing may have been an exaggeration (that they told us kids), but there was definitely animal processing in there.
Dennis in NC Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 And there is no relation whatsoever with Moog (the company) from East Aurora, right? 414867[/snapback] The companies were unrelated. The families may have been distantly related. Bob Moog did live in East Aurora before he left WNY.
/dev/null Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 somewhere, someone is playing that song from Beverly Hills Cop in tribute
nobody Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 You are probably correct about the gelatin factory. The slaughterhouse thing may have been an exaggeration (that they told us kids), but there was definitely animal processing in there. Gelatin is made from animals - skin, bones, cartilage, ligaments, etc.
