Moderated by Robert B. Jacobs. To Bob Moog, electronic music is a medium of musical expression. Electronic music results from the "generating of sound material", as well as the control of sound, its storage and recording. He explains the creation of composition through parameters of pitch, amplitude and timbre. Using a synthesizer, Moog demonstrates variations in sound as pure pitch vs. pure noise (e.g., white noise), as transient variations, and through filtering to modify tone color. In composition, he emphasizes the importance of the distribution of sounds as an expression for electronic expression. The variations of sounds are enhanced by modern materials and technology, demonstrating the relation between computers and electronic music.
