Hi Dana,

We’re facing some server issues that are limiting our uploads. We’re working on that right now, and hoping to have some samples up soon. The tape is truly amazing!

Thanks,
The Bob Moog Foundation

Hi,

You could just post the audio files on this blog, so we can hear it.

Amazing history! Article describes Herb Deutsch, the man who not only introduced me to my first Moog Synthesizer, but also was instrumental in its invention and design! (no pun intended!) Herb was my band director at St. Agnes Cathedral High School while, at same time, a professor at Hofstra University on Long Island. I reconnected with Herb just a few years ago, after 37 years. My partner, Jim, also got to pick his brain, as we were mid-construction on our recording studio here at our home. Shortly after, we got to see Herb once again, in person in NYC, as he was awarded one of the first “Bob Moog Lifetime Achievement Awards” at MoogFest. Thank you, Herb, for all the influence you have had on my life!

sir-
I was present, as a band-member, at the nearfest event in 2008 when michelle shared news of the existence of this tape archive. I was frustrated at having to cross the atlantic back to the UK, unable to stay & offer assistance with this project- I am, aswell as a moog user, something of an audio archivist myself, & have spent many years restoring & transferring from tape.
so…. I am extremely glad to hear that the project is going well, & I look forward to hearing the results. one wonders if the publication might be modelled after the “manhattan research” package, which so elegantly showed us the world of raymond scott.
best-

duncan.
