Bob Moog Foundation Sharpens Its Vision for 2009

"We Need Your Input!

As you know from following our progress, protecting and preserving Bob's archives has been our focus for over a year. Our goal is to share these archives with the you. As a result, the Bob Moog Foundation recently embarked on a thoughtful and ambitious planning process to chart the future direction of the organization, strategically defining who we are and how we can make a serious impact. We have committed to taking the initial steps to begin planning for a Bob Moog Museum in Asheville, NC.


What would a Bob Moog Museum look like? Here's what we envision: a highly interactive, innovative place to connect with Bob's life and work; the official residence of Bob’s extensive technological archives; a hub for an interdisciplinary community musicians, engineers, scientists and historians; an eye-opener and inspiration for students and adults alike.

We need to hear from you, the Moog community. We have created a survey that will help give us some important preliminary information regarding visitation to the Bob Moog Museum. Please take just a couple of minutes to fill out this short but important survey! Click here for the survey.

Thanks very much for your participation and support!

Airheads Sample 3

flicky by Airheads_instruments
"Airheads allow anyone to create music by simply playing the air. This touchless gizmo has two sensors sticks that are placed 2 ft. apart. The sensor sticks act as a hands free Midi controller and are able to sense both position and velocity. A player’s hands are able to generate different notes, and different velocities that have been preselected from any type of drum trigger MIDI and synth. Players wishing to play drums can do so by plugging the sensor sticks into the midi trigger, setting the synth for percussion sounds, and simulating drumming in the air between the Airhead sensor sticks. Players can select from up to eight different types of drums. For those who wish to play the sitar or other sounds is as easy as selecting that instrument and those notes to be played. A schematic and parts list is available."

The Siel Kiwi on Synth.nl

"The Siel Kiwi. It is an Italian build 6 voice polyphonic analog synthesizer with two DCO's per voice. It has quite good filers with nice resonance. For that Siel used SSM chips. And it also has 3 LFO's. Actually quite a nice machine. It sounds a bit like a Roland JX3P only a bit better even I think. It is quite nice for bass sounds. And it looks quite different from what I have seen before as well."
