NAMM 2018: Moog hasn’t taken a regular booth at the Anaheim Convention centre this year; instead, we’re treated to an off-site showcase of the current product line-up.

An apparently normal suburban house leads an amazing double life. When the Asheville synthesists come to town, it becomes the Moog House of Electronicus!

Currently, a lover of all things high-gain in the guitar stakes and never one to resist churning out sub-standard funky breaks, the likes of which you'll never hear.
