Moog Labyrinth: Forget Everything You Know

Описание: Why your musical training might be holding you back from the Moog Labyrinth.

Is the Moog Labyrinth a percussion synthesizer, a melodic lead source, or a "Touring Machine" for the subconscious? In this video, we step away from the patch cables and technical manuals for a few minuets to explore the actual philosophy of the Labyrinth.

For those of us trained in Western music theory, this instrument presents a unique challenge: it asks us to "learn to forget." To truly master the Labyrinth, you must fight against your ingrained musical instincts and move bravely into a world of generative chaos, unquantized sounds, and fearless exploration.

In this video, we discuss:

The "Unlearning" Process: Why expectations are the biggest barrier to creative synthesis.

The Quantization Trap: Why the quantize knobs might be holding you back from the "future music" hidden in this machine.

A Transitional Device: Why the Labyrinth will be remembered as a gateway to a new era of Moog design.

The Labyrinth isn't perfect—it can be unpredictable, confusing, and at times, underwhelming. But when viewed as a tool for the imagination rather than just a piece of hardware, it becomes a simple masterpiece.

Gear Featured:

Moog Labyrinth (Parallel Generative Analog Synthesizer) and Moog DFAM.
