In 2016, Moldover released the studio album 4 Track which included the playable packaging Voice Crusher.

In 2010, Moldover released the MOJO, “Limited-Edition Performance MIDI Controller”. This is his first “made from scratch” midi controller. It figures prominently in his live performances. In 2012, Moldover made the design for the Mojo open source. Artist Ill Gates called the Mojo, “the single greatest controller in the history of MIDI.”

In 2009, Moldover released his debut album Moldover. Of the variety of price tiers for the release of the album, the steepest version included a fully playable circuit board, thus highlighting what is termed playable packaging. The track listings themselves were created using circuitry. Inside the package is a small playable light-theremin.

In a 2007 article in Remix, Moldover stated that controllerism is “essentially the same idea” as turntablism.

Before releasing an official Studio album, Moldover released a series of live recordings called Live Remashing. These were his preliminary journeys into Controllerism before he had come up with the term. In 2006, Marc Urselli of Chain D.L.K. described Live Remashing as “an encyclopedia of modern pop culture in sound format” and “the best example of how to use modern technologies to enhance and extend musicianship and artistic vision”, and “the new form of DJing.”

Moldover suggests that the Controller is “the instrument of the next generation.” In 2005, he coined the term Controllerism with the encouragement of his manager of the time, DJ Shakey. On the development of Controllerism he said that “the basic styles of DJing weren’t satisfying to me, I was used to a more visceral way of performing; playing guitar, singing, and producing sound with my body in real time. For me, controllerism is more along those lines than DJing.”

He earned a degree in electronic music composition in 2002, and then moved to New York City to play in a variety of bands. He soon transitioned to a focus on solo performance; a 2003 visit to Burning Man Festival in Nevada led to him moving to San Francisco in 2008.

Moldover is originally from the Washington DC area and began playing guitar at the age of 13 in Rockville, MD. He discovered Berklee College Of Music on the internet and moved to Boston to attend in 1998.

Matthew Edwin Moldover (born April 24, 1980), known as Moldover, is a musician and instrument designer based in San Francisco, CA. The MIDI Manufacturers Association has referred to him as the “Godfather of Controllerism”. He is known for his fusion of music and technology which he synthesizes through a variety of inventions including the Mojo, Robocaster, Octamasher and Guitar Wing.
