Reminder The Great Sun Ra used Moog, matter of FACT
Sun Ra was the first musician to adopt the Minimoog.
Sun Ra performed and recorded frequently during 1970 and 1971 with the Minimoog. This was before Emerson, Lake, and Palmer and other progressive rock groups struck it big with the same, liberating sound. Ra’s use of the Minimoog in a free jazz context often resulted in long explorations touching on every sound made possible by the instrument. Listening to Sun Ra play the Minimoog during this period is like experiencing a master class of early synthesizer improvisation technique.
So let’s get the Facts correct!
Wow, yet another mono synth from yesterday and beyond 😉
They called this portable in the 70’s.
