About this Quote

Robert Moog's quote speaks to the importance of partnership in the imaginative process. As an engineer, he has the technical abilities to create the devices required to make music, but it is the chance to work with artists that drives him. He recognizes that the creative procedure is a collective effort, and that the best results come from interacting. He likewise acknowledges that the technical abilities he has actually obtained as an engineer are essential to the procedure, but that the genuine worth originates from the collaboration in between the engineer and the artists. By interacting, they can produce something higher than either could have achieved by themselves. This quote speaks with the power of collaboration and the significance of working together to create something special.
