Preservation of Tapes from Bob's Archives Begins
Thanks to generous funding from the GRAMMY Foundation the Bob Moog Foundation has begun the preservation and transfer process on over 40 of the reel-to-reel tapes in Bob's collection. With the generous $15,000 grant, our preservationist Seva David Ball of Souncurrent Mastering has begun the work at hand, which involves mold remediation, baking and transferring. Read more about Seva's progress here.
Support the Work of the Bob Moog Foundation
Thanks to your ongoing support, the BMF is taking on three major goals. The first is to empower young people to learn science by playing electronic instruments and to inspire them to be innovators at the intersection of science and music. Just like Bob Moog. The second is to preserve and protect Bob's archives to share with present and future generations. The third is to create a Moogseum--a place where people can experience Bob's Archives and join a community of innovators. Please contribute today to help us make an impact on people's lives through electronic music."
