AN INTERVIEW WITH ROGER O'DONNELL
The electronic cure
Roger O'Donnell spent the better part of his career as keyboardist with moody rockers The Cure during their heyday in the 1980s and 90s. But now that he's out on his own, he's traded rock stardom for retro-electronic music played almost exclusively on the Moog Voyager synthesizer, the revamped Mini-Moog. O'Donnell talks about his personal electronic music on his latest CD, Stories from the Silver Box
