Mutemath in the Moog Sound Lab

I've dug Mutemath since catching them live in San Francisco years ago at the Hemlock Tavern. Here's a newly unearthed clip from 2011 when they visited the Moog Sound Lab:

"Back in 2011 Mutemath stepped into the Moog factory to record a Moog Sound Lab Session, here they transform "Blood Pressure" from their 2011 LP "Odd Soul".

For those of you curious about the instrumentation:

"Blood Pressure" fades in with Darren playing pulsing bass lines in the verse and higher etherial notes on Animoog, being controlled by a Minimoog Voyager.

Paul sings and plays a Little Phatty Stage II, holding out elongated single lines while opening and closing the Filter Cutoff knob with the Resonance set high.

Roy uses his Minimoog Voyager Select Series for low rumbling bass to hold the foundation.

Darren plays the Trap-Kat, triggering 3 Minimoog Voyager Rack Mounts through an MF-104Z Analog Delay for rhythmic echo."
