    OT Altec horns on SNL?

    Did anyone see LCD Soundsystem on SNL last night? I think they were using some large Altec horns in their stacks. Turns out that the lead singer is an audio geek, and loves to build systems and speakers.

    Analog synthesizers.

    Imagine a stack of audio frequency generators/oscillators, each with their own stack of filters able to create a multitude of voices and effects and you have the basis.

    I remember the old syths, moog was the name I always heard. the first time I saw one was at a Taco Bell grand opening in the early seventies. he was making bird sounds and good vibrations. I also heard a version of "mockingbird hill" in middle school band class.

    Rick Wakeman often used a Mini Moog with a very classic Moog voice to solo on one of the greatest rock songs ever, Starship Trooper. Solo at 8:55.



    This a is a great documentary on Bob Moog and his electronic genius:

    When did they get rid of the giant industrial fan that you could always see turning, in the background? I haven't watched SNL for quite some time......
