"Finally they nailed that mysterious magic" - Amos Gaynes, Moog Lead Engineer designer

I composed a fugue on a Moog in my first year of college at Hampshire College but I never "synthesized" really. As one of the comments says...

That "Goldilocks zone" comment is why Moog synths outperform other synths. They thoroughly experiment with trying to make it sound good without needing to understand the complex system of why it sounds good.

 Fifty years ago [2019] — in 1969, a year and a half before Hampshire opened — the College christened the Five College electronic music studio, housed in one of the only buildings on campus, a farmhouse. Shared by our founding colleges UMass, Smith, Mount Holyoke, and Amherst Colleges, the studio featured a revolutionary new $25,000 Moog synthesizer from an anonymous donor, demonstrated at a press conference by Everett Hafner, founding dean of Natural Science and avid electronic music composer. #ThrowbackThursday
