Welcome to the mini Moog factory!

This new digital experience celebrates synthesizer pioneer Bob Moog's legacy and the recent return of our beloved Minimoog Model D.

Drawing inspiration from ‘90s video games and websites, this interactive experience is designed to give you access to the rich history of electronic music through the lens of the Minimoog Model D. Discover the amazing musicians, songs, stories, and sounds that have shaped generations of music through apps and activities inspired by this iconic synthesizer and the artists who have embraced it.

Each facet of 

 was designed to bring visitors a joyful experience behind every digital door that leads to each new section of the site.

We are grateful to have had the opportunity to partner with multi-disciplinary, independently owned design studio 

 to bring this vision to life. Leading the project was Pentagram’s sound and experiential design visionary 

, who we previously collaborated with on the 

 back in 2016 for that year’s Moogfest.

With a passion for Moog synthesizers and the brand's legacy, Yuri was the perfect partner to celebrate the Model D's cultural impact. He and the hardworking teams at Pentagram and Counterpoint helped create an experience that allows visitors all over the world to discover the deep history and sound of the Moog world.



“Working on this web project for the past two years has been an incredible journey, as Moog has always been my top fascination. Their synthesizers' special sound and beautiful design hold a special place in my heart. I still vividly remember our first discussion years ago where we envisioned a web experience that celebrates the Minimoog Model D. Our goal was to craft a tightly interactive and fun experience that would capture the essence of Dr. Bob Moog and his team’s groundbreaking innovation.

Throughout the project, the collaboration has been tight-knit and extremely enjoyable. We have exchanged numerous ideas on how to make the introduction of this beautiful innovation both fun and captivating. I am grateful to everyone involved in this project for their hard work and dedication.

I invite you to visit the website and immerse yourself in the discovery of the Minimoog Model D—a true testament to the innovation and creativity of its creators.”

 -Yuri Suzuki

Sit back and watch the Minimoog in action. Grab your popcorn!

Across the road from a pub and down a flight of basement stairs at number 19 Victoria Street is where the Gary Numan has descended to start work on his band’s debut album sometime in 1978. Despite being underground, the studio is called Spaceward, and over in the corner the something catches the singer’s eye.

“I got to the studio and noticed the Minimoog, and the studio manager said it’s one that was hired in for the band before. So I asked him if I could I plug it and have a go at it. (I) had no idea how to set it up. But I pressed a key and it made the hold room shook. The hire company never turned up so I had it there for the whole day and I put as much Minimoog on to those tracks as I could.”

And even though Numan and the rest of the Tubeway Army had been sent to this tiny space in Cambridge England to ostensibly record an edgy New Wave guitar album, the Minimoog is in fact the first instrument heard on the album. When it came to working on their follow-up a year later, Numan found their first hit in an unlikely spot.

“I wrote ‘Are 'Friends' Electric?’ on a piano. My mum and dad bought a second-hand upright piano from the pub that was out of tune. It came out of two songs. The main verse was written but then I couldn’t think of a suitable chorus. One day I was playing electric (guitar) and came up with a chorus and stuck them together.”

Numan moved his experiment over to his electronic rig and the band found themselves playing “Are 'Friends' Electric?” on a pair of Minimoogs to the nearly 19 million people who tuned into Top of The Pops one evening in May 1979. It not only lit the spark of Numan’s career, but to many people it signaled the dawn of Synthpop in the U.K.
