MOOG SOUND LAB: Tegan & Sara, Living Room

This post was written by Scott
Posted Under: Bass Lessons Videos
Tegan and Sara re-envision their single “Living Room” from their album entitled “If It Was You,” filling it with Moog Guitars and the ultra low end of the Taurus 3 Bass Pedals. Sara uses the Full Sustain mode on the Paul Vo Collector Edition Moog Guitar to create swooshing string pads to accompany Tegan’s upbeat acoustic guitar. Ted Gowans uses the E1 Moog Guitar in a couple of ways: He’s using Mute mode during parts of the verses that give a real staccato feel, then switches over to Controlled Sustain where energy is given to just 1 or 2 strings at a time. Shaun Hubert makes use of his hands and feet with the Taurus 3 Bass Pedals, bringing a massive low end growl to the song. There’s also an Etherwave Plus Theremin being used to sweep the Taurus 3′s filter via the CV output on the theremin.

Tegan is so charming… but Sara has my heart. She has a certain… je ne sais quoi…eccentricity in voice and mind !!

the only thing cooler than their staple harmonies is that perfect guitar riff to open it all!

I first heard Sara and Tegan, or vise versa when I was 19, It was in North Bay, Ontario, at a little concert that was part of our Heritage Festival 9 years ago.

They ROCKED IT then and the keep rockin’ it today !!!
