Movie Reviews of Moog
Movie Review: where's wendy/walter?
Summary: 2 Stars
Finally having seen this, I'm troubled and shocked by the fact that there is no mention whatsoever to Wendy,or Walter,for that matter,Carlos in this program.
In fact Robert Moog starts the film by saying that 'Switched on Bach' started it all,that it was the sole cultural artifact that introduced synthesis,and sinthesizers to the mass audience,and general conciousness,but he was either been shamefully edited or samelly omitted 'Switched on Bachs' creator,and mastermind ,sinthesis pioneer Wendy Carlos,by then going by the name of Walter,and obviously of another gender as well.
Whatever caused this,and appart from unwillingness of Wendy's part to colaborate,one can fairly assume the worse,only descredited the works as at least historically incorrect,and frankly,perilously bordering on revisionism.You get Rakeman instead.I pass.
P.S:R.I.P Bob Moog.
Movie Review: This Giant Deserves Better
Summary: 1 Stars
This wonderful pioneer of electronic music deserves to be praised and studied. This documentary does neither - it consists of long, tedious diatribes by people like Rick Wakeman. That's about it.
And how can you offer a documentary about Moog without mentioning Wendy Carlos, much less interviewing her?
Don't bother with this one.
