Moog Matriarch - Place / Time / Memory

Matriarch: Place / Time / Memory illuminates the interconnectedness between one’s sense of place, our perceptions of sound organized in time, and the impressions they leave behind.
Exploring the Moog Matriarch synthesizer from their personal home studios, multi-instrumentalist Lisa Bella Donna; Ghostly Intl. electronic producer Max Ravitz (Patricia); Anthem, Call of Duty, and Assassins Creed composer Sarah Schachner; and Paris Strother of Grammy-nominated R&B duo We Are KING express four unique sonic perspectives on the new instrument within the context of their own creative environments.

Miss Strother's performances blew me away. It shows the synth in a different light. I could listen to her classically influenced compositions all day!

[@HotStrange]

Godzilla Hårddisksson That’s not always a bad thing as long as it’s not just the filter.

[@joeboonmusic4004]

@Godzilla Hårddisksson Yes! Totally agree. I wish more people could be like her and show of how unique this instrument can be.

[@kidko]

This is how you demo a new product. Ace job, everyone involved!

[@rootsbanjo]

“Four Truths” 4:04 The best piece of the demo by my estimation... Showcases polyphony. Very creative.

[@rootsbanjo]

6:15 2nd best piece “Mono Memories” showcases monophonic power.

[@NicholasGreenwood]

Stereo analog delay built-in. I'm sold.

[@GabeChurray]

Dear Moog, I purchased the Matriarch solely on the Paris Strother clips alone in this video. The line at 13:37 and the bass at 13:45 pretty much sealed the deal. These demos are so musical. Thank you.

[@N-trepid1]

Sarah Schachner, Empyrean Winds (14:05) OMG, the depth and beauty of that chord progression on the Matriach. Amazing sounding synth. Kudos to ALL musicians in this vid. Moog drops the mike yet again ;)

[@Digiphex]

Moog have finally moved me to tears with this beautiful creation.

[@pirateradio808]

they make beautiful films (as well as sounds)

[@locksh]

Someone over at the Moog HQ definitely knows what he's doing. More demos like this please

[@carlbowles1808]

Being from the early moog Era young people doing moog makes me feel happy and young again. Thank you for this inspiring video 📹💖👏👍😎🌞

[@HustonSingletary]

I love that in 2019 these wonderful artists are letting themselves get immersed in the true art of synthesis. Well done Moog family!!

[@padger2577]

Around 7:15, the sounds she's getting out of it instantly sold me. It was like some switch was flipped in my brain, and I now suddenly need this in my life. Masterpiece.

[@au4onx]

wow!!! moog and Paris Strother and Max Ravitz and Lisa Bella Donna and Sarah Schachner just hitting it out of the park and into the cosmos and back into the fundamental vibrations. Loving it so much!! So inspired!

[@shipwreckdetective6549]

Those lines by Paris Strother - WHEW, melted my soul.

[@apexone5502]

She always comes through. I wonder when KING is gonna drop another album? We need more of Paris' lush production.

[@mcblahflooper94]

The performances here are incredibly brilliant and the sounds of this synth are amazing. Moog is really just showing everyone who's boss right now.

[@lucasj7577]

I Was not expecting this to be this good... so much depth. it gives me the impression like this single instrument has a room of its own its pretty organic sounding. Definitely a must have...

[@elbronzmusic]

Lucas J nice

[@brosupremo]

Drool . . . This would look great next to my Grandmother. I love her dearly.

[@Smithelwerb]

Okay but for real, can we talk about the run from 6:50 to 7:01? That was absolutely filthy! Excellent work to everyone who worked on this masterpiece of a demo :)

[@chris.dillon]

The finishing chords were just incredible. 14:03 Art.

[@MilesAwayOfficial]

This was my fave part too

[@zachlombardi3137]

Oh sweet, legit tagged my favorite part of the video man. I got my matriarch a couple months back now... whew.

[@andykandolf1948]

7:30 ...OOOOOOOOOMG... love you guys! Everyday I discover something new in this loveley piece of gear. 2 hours of matriarch and I'm back to inner peace.

[@XanderEwald]

Beautiful synth, but the video is on a whole new level! Rarely have I seen a music gear manufacturer distill the very essence of their instruments and philosophy into moving pictures and sounds with such accuracy and elegance. Whoever contributed to this deserves a long, appreciative hug.

[@Aaron-zh4kj]

...and some serious job security.

[@TheSunshineGroup]

It's a great time to be involved in synthesizers. My biggest problem is choosing the right synth out of all these amazing choices I have!

[@pirateradio808]

it really is the second golden age of synthesizers... just amazing stuff all over the place -- I don't think anything will sound more magical than this Moog though (others have interesting features, like the Arturia 2S with its sequencer etc.)

[@ludop2066]

Sarah's patches are so expressive.

[@AlexBallMusic]

How to sell a synth! Wow, you guys nailed it. Congratulations.

[@KortKramer]

Go Lisa go! I can really see and hear your connection to this Moog model. All of the musicians are amazing.

[@kevinvicks5349]

"Passing Tones" gave me chills! Although Moog throwing in stock ambient and wind effects like us sound nerds wouldn't notice lol. Either way, great video, awesome synth and the sound design created for the transitions was actually pretty cool!

[@gabsauvage]

Makes me almost cry, gives me the chills. The edit, the sound is perfect. Well done, Moog!

[@c.simonis123]

All very good ones with a favorite taste for Sarah Schachner's playing and sound design. So smooth and great.

[@le__rien]

The 4-note paraphony + this vintage sound ❤️

[@johncharles2597]

Love these videos. Moog make classical, serious musical instruments that are artisanal - and will still be treasured heirlooms in decades to come.

[@tonyplaysbass6535]

Super rad video and intro for the new Moog. All the artists really killed it.

[@wcm5150]

This was dope. Good job Moog, you guys and gals are doing nothing but good work.

[@martinneal5240]

! This is really the Paraphonic masterpiece of my imaginings..except more organic and beautiful. I fell in love with the Grandmother.. its a magic box...The Matriarch ties it all together for me.

[@CEOTre]

Between 9:29 passing tones and 10:29 thankful diodes made me buy this keyboard today. I can’t wait I been wanting this baby for a year. We don’t have one on display at the Guitar Center I work at. Much respect to all the artist y’all are dope 🙌🏾

[@edwardquerfeld9692]

This thing sounds seriously sinister and ethereal all at the same time. Going to have to think hard about this....

[@josephhoward4010]

The cat making the synthesizer sounds from its mouth mid-video made me laugh.

The sound of this amazing synth in the hands of these young amazing and beautiful musicians is fantastic. All that combined with the visuals creates an outstanding experience. Good Job Moog!!!

[@steletext]

Moved me to tears. I am not even sure if I want the machine now as I am nowhere close to the musicality of these artists.

[@fortheloveofnoise]

LSA can help.

[@reneotten7376]

Yes you are... just keep playing, learning and trying.

[@jupitermarx]

I guess when your on your throne everyone wants to come for it? Yet no one can. Moog reigns supreme!!!!!!

[@stevenwhite8936]

better music on this than combining all of the videos for the moog one that i've seen (though I'm sure its more than capable)

[@RobertSaintJohn]

Fantastic performances and sounds. Great features, my new “must have” synth for the year. Glad I held off on getting the GM!

[@Syntox]

Wow do I ever want this...

[@element433]

Cinematographic demos. Just love them! Congrats all involved!

[@HotStrange]

I’ve been avoiding demos because I know I’ll want it. I finally caved and now I have to have it. Honestly you could make a careers worth of albums with this synth alone.

[@G8GT364CI]

Moogs are the only synthesizers I like, you could ship all the rest of them to the moon as far as I care but these things are unbelievable. I'm 67 and remember when these first came on the scene and always wished they were back, I always think of the great stuff Stevie Wonder did with them years ago.

[@Dogboy73]

Wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!! I'm in love. Sounds absolutely incredible. 'All Your Synth Belong To Us'.

[@ernestbuckley8671]

Filthy, warm, dreamy, crispy... aah... I think the Matriarch is going to be a massive success for Moog. Its such an original design and for $2000, it seems to be so much more inspiring than the One. Is it just me?

[@HotStrange]

Definitely not just you. IMO, it’s the best synth of the decade. The Prologue is very close for me, but the Matriarch sounds like it came from another planet.

[@PinkBoardProducts]

god damn. moog just keeps putting out incredible stuff. unbelievable, cant wait to get my hands on one!

[@robertoquezada3045]

Beautiful... Just a beautiful sounding instrument.

[@nickynocknoo]

Thanks for introducing me to Paris and her group, they’re something else.

wow, so becalming, and I have ASD ! so asmr, esp. for synth music, which one more often associates with sci-fi hard sounds, like phaser blasts, noise, sirens, etc. great job everyone.

[@BarryWarne]

deep and evocative, transcendent and transportative back in time to when we thought about the future we now find ourselves within that whole super-wide stereo panning business takes me right back to the little flexidisk records you'd get in Keyboard Magazine demonstrating the new synth of some kind

[@davideandroid1254]

Moog Music, are you crazy? The specs of this synth left me speechless. Now this is my ultimate dream, to sit that 4-oscillator beast over an Hammond with a Korg SV-1 at my left, and play the old progressive leads with that. This machine is already legendary. Thank you, Moog Music Inc., for providing us those beautiful instruments. And I'm saying this with a Sub Phatty on my bed, sleeping with me.

[@noisesbyjames]

Really great video. The artists all get a lot of expression out of that synth. Congrats to Moog on the NAMM TEC Award!

[@eladreltuc]

This plus Valhalla Delay will open the 10th dimension. I own a GM and will buy this. I don't know how but I will have it the day it comes out. Thank you Moog for making this planet fun for me.

jON Giusti I have the same feeling. I’m way behind on the preorders so mine won’t be here until the end of November - beginning of December but I can’t wait. I think this is the synth I’ve always wanted.
