Backstage Burrow Ep5-2026: Moog v. Buchla: The Analog Revolution

Hop into the burrow with me, everybunny! Today we’re tracing the wild history of the synthesizer — from room‑sized, paper‑tape‑programmed giants in the 1950s to the voltage‑controlled modular marvels that shaped the sound of the ’70s and ’80s. We’ll meet the brilliant minds behind the Moog and Buchla synths, explore how culture shaped their designs, and see how one groundbreaking album launched synths into the mainstream. Get ready for waveforms, wobblies, filters, and a whole lot of musical magic!
