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.
The Moogseum in downtown Asheville explores the legacy of legendary musical innovator Bob Moog, inventor of the Moog Synthesizer and other sonic achievements.
It was this revelation of his reach and impact on so many people that motivated Michelle Moog-Koussa and her family to form the Bob Moog Foundation. Now in its 13th year, the BMF honors Bob Moog through its stated mission “to ignite creativity at the intersection of music, science, history and innovation.”
Robert Arthur Moog, better known as Bob, was an American engineer best known for his work with synthesizers and electronic music. Moog didn’t invent the synthesizer, but he did revolutionize it. Before Bob, synthesizers were huge, unwieldy machines that took up an entire room and cost far too much to make them commercially viable.
