The Doodle
At midnight on May 23rd, Bob Moogs birthday, Google released a Moog doodle on their homepage. For one day only on the Google homepage, youll find an interactive, playable synthesizer-based logo inspired by the instruments with which Moog brought musical performance into the electronic age. You can use your mouse or keyboard on the Moog doodles keys and dials to make nearly limitless sounds. Keeping with the theme of 1960s music technology, there is also a 4-track tape recorder so you can record, play back and share songs via short links or Google+.
For those of you who aren’t familiar with a Google Doodle, they are modifications Google’s logo on their home page — frequently changed for holidays, seasons, or special days–in this case Bob’s birthday.
This doodle should be a special treat for synth experts and newbies alike.
