about

About these songs:::

Moog synthesizer has an app version of their classic synthesizer, and they made it available for free download a few weeks ago. So, of course i downloaded it. I’ve never played a real one before, so i didn’t know what to expect. Sounds close enough (for my purposes) to the real thing and was super easy to figure out. It was used on four of these tunes.

All tracks were conceived / recorded / assembled during the plague lockdown.
March / April 2020.

“Emergency!” - Inspired by, and loosely based on music from 1970s television show of the same name.

“Is Your Family Protected?” - Soundtrack for the apocalypse. The first riff I played on the Moog.

“Natural Industrial” - I found this short video of a guy playing a homemade instrument and sampled it. It was basically a string strung over a metal can which he struck with a little metal rod. And the dude played the hell out of it. I wish i knew his name… I have no idea what he says, or what language it even is….
All sounds on this track were naturally captured through the open air.

“Randy Mantooth” - Includes incidental music and dialog sampled from Emergency. Best listened to with headphones. The Moog pre-set i used (with a few minor tweaks) was called, simply: “Keith.”

"Scared Of Dogs" Incidental music and dialog from Hardcastle & McCormick. Uncle Milt reminds me of Fred Blassie on this one.

Bonus track::
“Is Your Family Protected? Pt-2” - It’s the same exact track as the other one, but with olde timey doom & gloom samples about nuclear holocaust and fallout shelters…
