We’re delighted to welcome Native Instruments and Soundwide executive Robert Linke to our board of advisors.

Bob Moog and his innovative influence on musicians changed the sound of music forever. He has been a key inspiration for me to become part of this space, hoping that one day I can contribute a tiny fraction myself of what Bob did. I am happy and humbled to support and work with the Bob Moog Foundation, and help to ignite the same sense of wonder, curiosity and fascination around the past and future of sound with the next generation of music makers.
– Robert Linke
