Bob Moog Foundation 2024 Year In Review
video upload by moogfoundation
"2024 was as inspiring as it was challenging. Our three hallmark projects, Dr. Bob's SoundSchool, the Bob Moog Foundation Archives, and the Moogseum all saw great growth and growing impact. Hurricane Helene devastated our community and hampered our efforts -- but not for long. Thanks to the support and generosity of our worldwide community, we have been able to rebound, with a continued devotion to inspiring people of all ages and walks of life through the intersection of science, music, technology, and innovation.
We are grateful for all of the opportunities that 2024 afforded us and we look forward to 2025 with great anticipation.
Please consider supporting our important work:

Moogseum Window Install Timelapse After Hurricane Helene
video upload by moogfoundation
"Seven weeks after Hurricane Helene ripped our awning frame and cloth awning off our our building, causing both to crash into our window which broke into several places, we were finally able to get the window replaced. During the interim, the Moogseum has been boarded up, and hasn't looked very inviting. We are thrilled to have made the first step to bringing the Moogseum's exterior back to its original condition, as seen in this time lapse. The awning will be replaced in the next month or two.
Please consider supporting the Moogseum as we continue to navigate the long-term effects of Helene, which have resulted in more than $35,000 in lost income to date, with more expected by the end of the year.

The Bob Moog Foundation Fall 2024 Raffle - "No Talking" Demo!
video upload by Pro Synth Network
"We have been very lucky to be involved with helping out on the latest Bob Moog Foundation Raffle. This time, a classic vintage Minimoog Model D, signed by Peter Gabriel and restored by our very own Kent Spong, can be won.
Andrew goes through the gloriously deep, rich and distinctly Moogy tones of this incredibly special raffle prize, signed by the legend that is Peter Gabriel.
There has never been a more important time to support the Foundation. Hurricane Helene tore through Asheville, NC, home of the Moogseum, last month, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. Although it only sustained minor damage, the loss in trade from being unable to open will hit the Foundation hard.
Buying tickets for the raffle is an excellent way to help out with the added bonus of being able to own this singularly unique and iconic synthesizer.
Look out for more video content to be released throughout the raffle!
Buy tickets here: https://moogfoundation.org/fall-2024-...
Be quick! The raffle ends on the 28th October 2024!
Huge thanks to the amazing and inimitable Michelle Moog-Koussa for this opportunity to support an organisation that is very dear to our hearts. Please support her work however you can."

The Bob Moog Foundation is excited to announce its fall fundraising raffle for a fully restored vintage Minimoog signed by legendary musician Peter Gabriel. The raffle runs from October 7, 2024 at 7 am (EST) to October 28, 2024 at 11:59 pm (EST).
Tickets are $25 each, five for $100, 12 for $200 or 35 for $500.
All proceeds benefit the important work of the Bob Moog Foundation.
In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, which left the Moogseum shuttered for the foreseeable future, the support from the raffle is more important than ever.
Please consider purchasing a bundle of tickets.
The Minimoog being raffled is serial number 8538, created in Moog Music’s Williamsville factory in the mid-1970s. The Minimoog was fully restored by the lauded Kent Spong Restorations, whose three decades of synthesizer restoration has included work for Hans Zimmer, Vangelis, and hundreds of others. It is in excellent technical and physical condition.

On the back of the Minimoog, Gabriel has inscribed:
“To the Bob Moog Foundation. Hello. Love, Peter Gabriel, 04-09-2024”

Hurricane Helene Impact on the Moogseum
via The Bob Moog Foundation

Many thanks to many of you who have reached out via email, social media, and text inquiring about the status of the Moogseum. We have been overwhelmed by the love and support that we've received from all over the world.
As a result of Hurricane Helene, the Moogseum is currently closed. This closure will have a detrimental impact on our financial well-being, likely in the tens of thousands of dollars. Please consider supporting us during this time to ensure that we can sustain our operations through the rest of the year and beyond.
Here are three easy ways to help:
Donate: https://bit.ly/ContributeBMF
Become of member of the Bob Moog Foundation: https://moogfoundation.org/membership/
Purchase something from our newly redesigned online store: https://bit.ly/shopbmf (Note: shipping may take longer than usual).
As you have likely heard from news reports, Hurricane Helene devastated western North Carolina last Friday, leaving many areas destroyed due to flooding, and without power, water, or cellular service. Fortunately, the Moogseum was not anywhere near the flooding, but it did sustain some damage to the exterior.
In the photo above, you can see that the frame from the Moogseum's awning was ripped off the building. It hit the window, causing significant cracks. We have boarded up the window as we wait for it to be replaced and for the awning to be repaired. Because of the extensive devastation all over the region, both of those things could take weeks, if not longer.
Asheville is expected to be without power through at least Friday, and without water for much longer. Cell service has not yet been restored in most areas. The Moogseum has been closed since last Friday, and will remain so for the foreseeable future as we wait for the infrastructure to normalize. There are already thousands of professionals working to rebuild the area and provide support to those affected by the destruction, but Asheville has a very long road to recovery.
Any and all support is deeply appreciated during this difficult time, and will help keep us resilient so that we can continue to inspire our community and beyond through the intersection of science, music, technology, and innovation.
With many thanks for your ongoing support.

Bob Moog Foundation: Adam Holzman Live at Static Age in Asheville NC
video upload by moogfoundation
"On Saturday, June 29, 2024, Holzman will perform a synthesizer and piano concert at Static Age Records.
Doors will open at 7 p.m. and the show will begin at 8 p.m. For the performance, Holzman will create all sequences and loops in real-time analog without the assistance of a laptop using a variety of synthesizers. When asked to describe the concert, Holzman stated, “It will be sort of Tangerine Dream meets Keith Jarret.”
Tickets for the performance are $20 per person: bit.ly/AdamHolzmanLive.
Holzman is a masterful keyboard player, educator, author, and cartoonist who has spent his career performing with some of music’s biggest names while releasing numerous highly acclaimed recordings. From 1985-1989, he performed more than 200 concerts worldwide with jazz legend, Miles Davis, serving as Davis’s musical director in 1988. Holzman also toured and/or recorded extensively with Grover Washington Jr., Chaka Khan, Wayne Shorter, and many others. Holzman has frequently collaborated with British rocker Steven Wilson and is featured on many of Wilson’s acclaimed releases. Since 2012, Holzman has consistently placed high in Classic Rock and Prog magazine’s ‘Best Keyboard Player’ category. In addition to performing, Holzman wrote Creative Synthesizer Technique, which can be purchased at the Moogseum or online, and teaches part-time at The New School University in New York City.
Funds raised from ticket purchases for the concert and workshop will be used to expand the Bob Moog Foundation’s hallmark education project, Dr. Bob’s SoundSchool, which has inspired over 30,000 elementary school students through the science of sound. The auction will also help support the Bob Moog Foundation Archives and the Moogseum, an immersive, experiential facility located in Asheville, North Carolina, which brings Bob Moog’s pioneering legacy and the science of sound and synthesis alive for people of all ages. The Moogseum opened in 2019 and has since welcomed over nearly 35,000 visitors.

Happy 90th Birthday, Bob Moog From The Bob Moog Foundation
video upload by moogfoundation
"Ninety years ago today, Robert Arthur Moog was born at Flushing Hospital in New York. From that point on, Moog would begin a lifelong journey that would forever change how the world heard music.
Thanks to his pioneering contributions to synthesis, Moog revolutionized music by offering musicians a new palette of sounds that had never been available before.
Even in the years since his passing, Bob has inspired creativity and innovation in countless musicians throughout the world and across a wide range of genres.
For all of Bob's remarkable achievements, humility, and grace, we are forever grateful.
Help us carry Bob's legacy forward by becoming a member of the Bob Moog Foundation: https://bit.ly/BMFMembership."
