Moog Music is loaning me a "Little Phatty" synth!

Update #5 · Mar 24, 2012 · comment

Our recording engineer, John Plymale, has made arrangements with Moog Music in Asheville to loan us a Little Phatty synth for this project! I'm SO psyched. I used to own an ARP Axxe, which I played for years in bars and clubs throughout the midwest, and which was featured prominently on Little Green Men "Jazz From Mars", but I sold it back in 2004. Analog synths, and Moog's in particular, have been making a big comeback in recent years, but I haven't heard too many jazz musicians using them recently. I'm looking forward to getting intimately re-aquainted with this wonderful instrument.
