Leon Theremins original designs are elegant, ingenious and effective. As electronics goes, the theremin is very simple. But there are so many subtleties hidden in the details of the design. Its like a great sonnet, or a painting, or a speech, that is perfectly done on more than one level. – Robert Moog
The point is that I dont design stuff for myself. Im a toolmaker. I design things that other people want to use. – Robert Moog
My training as an engineer has enabled me to design the stuff, but the reason I do it is not to make music but for the opportunity to work with musicians. – Robert Moog
I happen to think that computers are the most important thing to happen to musicians since the invention of cat-gut which was a long time ago. – Robert Moog
Thats a hobby of mine – to do whatever I can for unusual for-hire creative projects. I am waiting for someone to really challenge me – obviously Im often approached to do film related work, but I would be very happy to design a bar or an amusement park ride. I would love to be an imagineer! – Roman Coppola
