Executive Director, Michelle Moog-Koussa talks with Rob Puricelli live on Pro Synth Network about the various projects at the Bob Moog Foundation, the Moogseum and the forthcoming documentary Electronic Voyager.
Shueh-Li Ong sat down with Executive Director Michelle Moog-Koussa for a live episode of Music & Chat to talk about the Moog synthesizer prototype, the exhibits in the Moogseum, Dr. Bob’s SoundSchool, growing up with Bob Moog, and more.
In this episode, we learn how these machines with keys, knobs, switches, buttons and sliders actually make sound. We’ll also travel back to the 1960’s and hear how synth pioneers like Bob Moog helped bring these sound making devices into the mainstream.
The Moogseum in downtown Asheville explores the legacy of legendary musical innovator Bob Moog, inventor of the Moog Synthesizer and other sonic achievements.
Chances are, one of your favorite tracks features a Moog synthesizer. In fact, if you’ve watched the hit Netflix series Stranger Things, you heard Moog synthesizers all over the soundtrack. Without this innovation in sound, music wouldn’t be what we know and love today. And the person we have to thank is Bob Moog.
“As a musical pioneer, his [Bob Moog’s] ability to harness the power of electricity for the purpose of creating sound revolutionized the music industry – one of many achievements immortalized in the Moogseum located in the heart of downtown Asheville.” – Biltmore Beacon
