Moogseum!

This friday, August 21st, will mark 4 years since Dr. Bob Moog passed away. His daughter, Michelle Moog-Koussa, is the executive director of the Bob Moog Foundation, an organization whose mission is to "document, celebrate and teach innovative thinking and to support and honor the legacy of synthesizer pioneer Bob Moog." Here's Michelle discussing the foundation and plans for the Moogseum:

and a brief excerpt from "Moog: a documentary" by Hans Fjellestad:



From the Moog Foundation website:

"Innovation was the urgent internal command that marked Bob Moog. And so it will be the command of the foundation in his name.

Less an honoring of the product of what was, our aim is to honor the potential that can be when the spirit of innovation takes root in a person of persistence. We will do this through scholarships programs, a hands-on electronic music museum where visitors will make conscious connections between their electronic “toys” and their interior creative life, and other experiential programs in development."


Please keep Bob's legacy alive & in your thoughts this week. You can do this by donating money to the Moog Foundation and by playing Moog instruments.
