Bob Moog, innovator and technical genius and an inspiration to every progressive rock geek died yesterday in his home in Asheville, North Carolina. Moog invented the airy sounding keyboard that bore his name.
"I can feel what's going on inside a piece of electronic equipment," he says in the Hans Fjellestad-directed documentary, Moog, "It would be egotistical to say 'I thought of it.' I opened my mind and the idea came through. It's something between discovering and witnessing."
Godspeed Bob.

Elizabeth Blair's report for NPR is worth a listen.
