Moog orchestras should be ubiquitous after 52 years! Performing in an ensemble like this would be a dream come true. It's a priveledge to see this, fantastic work.
Just when you think that you've seen everything and heard everything, this comes along and simply delivers something original and new. I bought my first Moog, a MicroMoog and thought I'd arrived. That sound, that machine. It was all I could afford in 1977. The Mini (model D) was way out of my financial league. I still have my Micro, and it has undergone one modification, and that is for a connection to trigger bass pedals. There is a switch on the dash to alternate it between the synths own keyboard, and the bass pedals. But in 1987 I was offered a Model D from a pal who needed some lolly and quick. He wanted £300. By the time he's said "quid" I'd traveled 70 miles to his house via the bank and was at his front door. The two Moogs are my babies/children. The MiniMoog has been gigged and never been too faulty. Sure it goes out of tune and that is part of the fun. I want to see more and more of this ensemble. More recordings and gigs please. This is as revolutionary as the first time I saw Jan Hammer playing his MiniMoog with the Mahavishnu Orchestra in 1972.
Saw this at the Saffron Hall last night, having previously seen the ensemble in London in London LSO St Luke’s in 2018. Just brilliant to watch these master musicians put these wonderful synths through their paces, & that looks very much like the same Heather on Percussion as was supporting last night with the Britten Sinfonia. Well done all. Superb.
loving this, reminds me of the ondes martenot ensembles, these very short plopping sound are very similar to the percutés on the Martenot. Great piece, great video.
Lovely 🎵 I thought I saw Adrian Utley in the group, and the end credits affirmed it. Looking forward to the album next year on one of my favourite labels, Mute.
HEY. Can you guys make a vinyl LP of the Will Gregory Moog Ensemble?! It's ANALOG. We all want it. You could use it to raise funds for the Bob Moog Foundation and the world will be a better place. NEED THIS ON VINYL PLEASE THANK YOU I LOVE YOU
Dear merciless Marketing folks at Moog Music. Saw the reissue. Lost my mind. Had to be tied up away from my credit cards. Ok, I'm fine. It has passed. Maybe TH-cam is safe for me again. And then the sobbing began at 0:46. I aspire to join this chorus - badly. Oh and now LIVE build??!
I'm trying to picture how a conductor / composer would even begin to write out each piece to each member. How would you signify each turn of the oscillators, the cutoff filter, the changes in envelope positioning etc. To have a vision of the roles each model D would have and timing them to form a single polyphonic effect before even presenting the final draft to the ensemble... where would one even begin? If only the classical musicians of hundreds of years ago were to see and hear this today, or had moogs been in existance in their day
Whew 10 moogs! Talented crew! Vintage synth fans I kindly need your input, I found an alternative called the "E-Pro Mini Synth" made in Netherlands on reverb. Does anyone know of any reviews on this?
This is simply beautiful, Will. It has been quite awhile and I hope that all is goin well your way. I have been trying to reach you to no avail. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
the newer re-issues of the model d have processors and some digital control over things like tuning and MIDI, so they dont drift. they probably still have to warm up for a bit to really settle down into steady-state. these are definitely not vintage models. moog has re-issued the model d at least twice now.

Right?!
Absolutely! I would definitely like to see a lot more of this kind of approach, with larger numbers of performers onstage and less programming.

Brilliant! And kudos to you for keeping all those beasties in tune for five minutes. My 1974 model stays in tune for about three tops.
those look like reissues
We the people demand more mini moog videos!!!
Love Moog... Love Will... Love the ensemble... Love this performance... really no words to describe it.
Thanks for putting the Model D back into production!
Next: moogerfoogers
Wow - what a performance!
🙌🏻
Thanks!
I can only imagine what this must sound like live! Incredible...
You would pass out and wake up in another world
this is so beautiful .....very touching. thank you
Why the fudge does this only have 49k views so far? This is an incredible piece.
😊
best thing I've seen/heard all week!

From an old Moog fan..
Fantastic!!
Sounds very David Vorhaus, of White Noise fame..
loving this, reminds me of the ondes martenot ensembles, these very short plopping sound are very similar to the percutés on the Martenot. Great piece, great video.
We need a 'making of' video to go with the performance of the 10 voice minimoog.
How awesome is this. The endless possibilities these beautiful machines offer us are in full display. Beautiful work!
This is beautiful, wow
Lovely 🎵

This performance was really great and unusual. 10 Mini Moog synths in unison! I'm pretty much speechless.
Great stuff. Love Will Gregory. He’s dome some magnificent work with Goldfrapp and arrangements for Florence + The Machine.
Moog Magic! Thank you!! I only have the sub 37.. Greetings to ms. Goldfrapp
What can I say....perfect. Had to watch it twice.
Only twice?
Just watched your MS-50 video. What a great piece of kit and a great video as usual.
pfft. I'm on play number 5 at the moment. Bookmarking for replay. Let's keep it going.
Amazing ensemble sounds like an orchestra but from other world.....I love minimoog
Tangerine Dream vibes, love it🚀
This is so ridiculously good. Album please!!!!
Thanks a lot for the Frequency Dream 🙏🌞🙏
Maravilloso ver a tanto genio reunidos gracias saludos desde México 🇲🇽❤️!! Moog forever
HEY. Can you guys make a vinyl LP of the Will Gregory Moog Ensemble?! It's ANALOG. We all want it. You could use it to raise funds for the Bob Moog Foundation and the world will be a better place. NEED THIS ON VINYL PLEASE THANK YOU I LOVE YOU
Amazing work. This is a dream come true
Now let's see the younger generation who can't afford a Minimoog do an Ensemble with he SUB 37 should be just as good!.
Ha what an amazing vibe! What better way to herald the return of the Minimoog!

This channel hosts some of the best new music anywhere.
Will Gregory brilliant tech/keyboardist This guys great
Incroyable , merci et vous avez le bonjour de Toulouse !
The most Minimoog's in one room since Rick Wakeman's late-70's keyboard rigs.
This blew me away. Wow.
Love it!
Wow amazing 🤩
Amazing performance. I also love at 4:31 it sounds like ring modulation.
So rad! Amazing how alive this sounds.
Bloody cool! Owner of a vintage Minimoog Model D.
It's like a drum circle for hippies who aren't afraid of technology.
Man. This is SOMETHING ELSE!
Awesome, another opportunity to score a legendary piece of history! 👍
Few suggest the fundamentals of synthesis quite like Model D, decades later still shaping cultural artistry.
Amazing project 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

I think there must be an Outline idea, root key, midi sync, maybe division of who occupies what frequencies, arpeggios...This was quite unique
This sounds like Mother Mallard circa 1970-74, very tuneful, complex and beautiful.
My thoughts exactly.
wwwwoooah. I thought "no I won't click this commercial". But I am soooo glad I did. This is amazing.
Very nice!
That is glorious. Bravo to all involved.
absolutely fantastic
Incredible.
Whew 10 moogs! Talented crew! Vintage synth fans I kindly need your input, I found an alternative called the "E-Pro Mini Synth" made in Netherlands on reverb. Does anyone know of any reviews on this?
Amazing! Thank you for this! I really hope there will be much much more.
Fantastic......yeah
It's backkkk!!!!!!
Great!
Extremely cool. Great piece and performance...in a wonderful space.
Wow! Incredible
Bravo Maestros, I’ll definitely be keeping an ear out for the Mute release.
Literally everything about this. Eddie Parker, tho... 🔥 Please make more with this ensemble!
Can't Wait!
Very cool
Absolutely sublime
Hello my name is Fernando and I approve this performance.
This is so musically expressive! The composition is awesome, it's performed with taste and feel… Bravo!
Superb! Bravo! 👏👏👏👏👏
Best of the best
This is simply beautiful, Will. It has been quite awhile and I hope that all is goin well your way. I have been trying to reach you to no avail. Merry Christmas
to you and your family.
I expected some classics in such a place
Beautiful stuff... especially impressive since it seems like all of the LFOs were tuned to sync by ear. Wow!
the newer re-issues of the model d have processors and some digital control over things like tuning and MIDI, so they dont drift. they probably still have to warm up for a bit to really settle down into steady-state. these are definitely not vintage models. moog has re-issued the model d at least twice now.
Beautiful moogery
Well then. This’ll be on repeat all day!
Amazing, awesome performance & sounds.
How many others have done this? My dad took me to see Gershon Kingsley's 1st Moog Quartet. They had a Minimoog for a 5th.
OUI !!!
I didn’t realise how much I needed this in my life…. feels like it should’ve always existed! More please 🥹
shockingly beautiful, bravo
So good!
Just Amazing!
MAGNIFICENT!
Beautiful
We want MORE!!!
Bravo!
Wow!!
seriously impressed
That's so, so cool. I love it!
FANTASTIC!
Beautiful - what a performance. enjoyed that!
Would have loved to blast the party with my TB303 through a Distortion plus pedal.
Awesome! 👏
Outstanding!
I am crying right now 😭
That was rather brilliant!
This made my day :')
Just amazing
Simply awesome 🤩
Totally wonderful perfection this
