We are thrilled to announce that David Mash has joined our Board of Directors. Recently retired from his position of Senior Vice President for Innovation, Strategy, and Technology at Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts, Mash previously served as the founding chair of the Music Synthesis Department, Berklee’s Assistant Dean of Curriculum for Academic Technology, Vice President for Information Technology, and Vice President for Technology and Education Outreach. He retired in 2017 after 41 years of service.
A leading authority on music technology and education, Mash has been featured on national and international media broadcasts such as 3-2-1-Contact, Newton’s Apple, World Monitor, CBS Evening News, All Things Considered, and Voice of America. He has collaborated on product development with leaders in the multimedia and music industries including Adobe, Avid, Kurzweil, Roland, and Korg, as well as many manufacturers of music technology products. Rolling Stone magazine has called him “the industry’s leading evangelist for the marriage of music and technology.” In 1997, he was named an AppleMaster by Apple Computer for his contributions to the fields of music, technology, and education. David Mash was also Bob Moog’s long-time friend and colleague, having worked with him on several projects while Bob was the Vice President for New Product Research at Kurzweil Music Systems. Moog commissioned Mash to write the after-market “Kurzweil 250- A User’s Guide,” and served as his technical editor for the project. Bob Moog also wrote the foreword to Mash’s book “Macintosh Multimedia Machine.”
