EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic Minimoog Voyager synthesizer, which was once owned and utilized by the legendary record producer and artist J Dilla from 2002 to 2005. Created by Moog Music, this monophonic analog synthesizer is a true masterpiece of musical technology. The photograph reveals a small keyboard set within an elegant wooden frame beneath a control panel adorned with black knobs, red and blue switches, and two different sized screens. The control board's ingenious design includes a hinge and stand that allows it to be propped up for optimal user interaction. Above the piano keys on the right side of the instrument, a brass plaque proudly displays its name - [minimoog/voyagerÔäó]. On the back of the control panel lies a label indicating its origin at MOOG MUSIC Inc. , located in Asheville, NC. This image not only captures an exceptional piece of audio equipment but also represents an important chapter in African American cultural heritage. J Dilla's influence as both a dee jay and hip hop artist has left an indelible mark on music history. His ownership of this Minimoog Voyager synthesizer symbolizes his dedication to pushing sonic boundaries and creating groundbreaking sounds. Now housed in the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), this object serves as a testament to J Dilla's immense talent while highlighting his significant contributions to American music. As we admire this snapshot into history, we are reminded of how technology like synthesizers continues to shape our musical landscape today.
