At Coachella: Curating Kanye West's Sunday Services with Musical Director Phil Cornish
During Weekend 2 of Coachella, thousands of festival goers crowded around the campground for a once-in-a-lifetime hillside experience of Kanye West’s mystical Sunday Services - a live musical event inspired by spiritual enlightenment and featuring over 20 musicians and 85 vocalists. We caught up with Sunday Service musical director Phil Cornish to talk about how he was approached to curate the musician collective, as well as how Kanye’s love of vintage synthesizers inspired the basis of the orchestration. -
Spiritual Friendship at Moogfest 2018
When Nick Hook and Gareth Jones decided to join forces for their newest project, a truly spiritual friendship was formed - allowing them to each reimagine new possibilities through the medium of synthesizer production. Spiritual Friendship is comprised of Brooklyn-based producer/DJ Nick Hook, and seasoned producer/engineer Gareth Jones (Depeche Mode, Einstürzende Neubauten). The duo performed an extended drone piece at this year's Moogfest in Durham, North Carolina. We invited them to the Moogstore at Moogfest for a first-look at the new Moog Grandmother, as well as a discussion about the origin of their new project, and how they've each brought out the best in one another - spiritually and beyond. -
Madame Gandhi at Moogfest 2018
As a live performer, Madame Gandhi aims to incorporate her message of female empowerment and versatility by using a wide range of instruments and techniques onstage. "I show I’ve rehearsed the drums, I've built the soundscapes, and I’m using the technology to impact my vocal through loop pedals and sensory percussion triggers. That’s why I do so much on stage, because I really want to embody this three-dimensionality of not only the female experience, but the human experience." We captured Madame Gandhi's live first impressions of the new Moog Grandmother, while also discussing her multi-faceted stage setup as a means for spreading message through example. -
DJ Haram at Moogfest 2018

She stopped by the Moogstore at Moogfest to demo the new Moog Grandmother - we talked about first impressions, the future of live performance and how DJs are bending musical genres for the next generation of artists. -
