Moog Messenger: Overview with Tycho

“I’m kind of Moog obsessed” - musician, composer, producer, photographer and visual designer Tycho (a.k.a Scott Hansen). “My first Moog synthesizer was Voyager and I ended up getting Minimoog, Source, Prodigy and Matriarch - which was primary choice for my album Infinite Health, where I wanted synth and guitar sounds to overlap and connect in interesting ways. Messenger feels like very playable instrument, as opposed to something you have to dive into with sound design. Whether you’re beginner or experienced player, Messenger seems perfect for writing or live performance - and patch memory is huge - which is why I’m going to use it to recreate some of patches on Infinite Health for you”.
