Already by 1978 this equipment was becoming obsolete. Its manufacturing date was 1968. Only 10 years old. But what a wonderful teaching tool. And it's still capable of producing groovey analog sounds!
The Famous Moog Synthesizer |
| The background image on our home page is a digitally processed
version of Walter Carlos' Switched-On Bach album. The Moog synthesizer
pictured on that cover belonged to Columbia Records. Sometime around 1978
Lydia Ledeen, chair of the Music Department, got a call from a friend who
worked for Columbia Records asking if we might be interested in acquiring
these modules. They had been replaced by newer equipment. Lydia asked Norman
Lowrey, our resident composer, and he jumped at the chance.
