This new documentary series is about honouring and preserving the legacy of these artists and sharing their untold stories with the world.

“The artists in this series have left an indelible impact on electronic music history and culture, and their contributions have pushed the artform and industry forward,” Moog Music said.

“They are the “giants” whose shoulders we stand on—the pioneers who propelled synthesisers and analog instruments into the mainstream many years ago.”

Through spoken interviews, original music, and visuals, these artists share their perspectives around how electronic music has evolved and provide context for their place in that story.

The first instalment of GIANTS focuses on Herbert Deutsch, the co-inventor of the Moog modular synthesiser. 

The composer, music educator, and friend and collaborator of Bob Moog journeys back in time to talk about some of music history’s most prolific moments and expand on “the perfect definition” of what music is and can be: sound organised in time.
