Moogfest Panels Feature Mavericks, Legends and Pioneers

"Moogfest History and Technical Panels Draw on Deep Legacy and Industry Connections

The Bob Moog Foundation is bringing together top minds in history, technology and education for this year’s history and technical panels. Experts, ranging from Bob’s colleagues in the seminal days of synthesis to the more contemporary sound sculptors of today, are coming from around the country to share their ideas and vast experiences. The Bob Moog Foundation will be responsible for the historical content at Moogfest, including items from Dr. Bob’s Archives such as rarely seen vintage photographs and historic audio clips from recently restored reel-to-reel tapes.

All panels, demonstrations, and workshops will take place between Noon and 6:30 PM EST at the Moogaplex, located at the Haywood Park Hotel complex at 1 Battery Park Avenue in downtown Asheville, just a stone’s throw from many of the music venues. They are first come, first serve for those who bought either weekend passes or have a pass for that particular day.
Convergence – Hardware and Software Integration in the 21st Century & The Award of OMG-1 One-Of-A-Kind Synth (Friday, 3pm)


The One-Of-A-Kind OMG-1, designed by Eric Persing

The creation of electronic music has always relied on exploring all technologies available. In the modern context, that often means transcending the divide between the tactile experience of hardware devices and the ever-increasing capabilities of computers. An incredible panel of sonic explorers moderated by Spectrasonics’ founder Eric Persing will investigate the challenges of how electronic instruments can reach their ultimate potential through the convergence of multiple technologies.

During this panel, Persing will be awarding his one-of-a-kind OMG-1 synthesizer to the winner of the OMG-1 Contest, Torley Wong. You won’t want to miss this historical moment!

BT & Sonik Architects - Sonifi for iPhone & iPod Touch

"MORE INFO, READ MY FULL REVIEW-THING: http://tr.im/btapp

OFFICIAL DESCRIPTION:

Sonifi

Remix, Record, Control dynamic live FX & beautiful visualizers

AND Stutter Edit™....

LIVE.

Create and explore stunning live remixes, FX and visuals with a true first-of-its-kind portable remix engine. Sonifi™ is the worlds first true audio and visual remix application and protocol. Created by electronic superstar BT, this application showcases futuristic new music and remixes of The Rose of Jericho from his forthcoming 2009 artist album.

Sonifi™ is a powerful, portable, real-time remix engine. There are an infinite number of permutations of remixes you can create, mix, save and share....live, and anywhere!!

For iPhone and iPod touch 3.0 users, a revolutionary new multi-player feature has been added. Jam Link gives 3.0 users the ability to link with a friend (via Bluetooth) and remix live....TOGETHER. The mixmaster selects control over "Beats and Bass" or "Melody and Harmony". Once JamLinked you and your buddy can remix, select tracks and Stutter Edit™ live. This is a first for any application, on any device.

In Sonifi™, four channels of four unique tracks allow extreme flexibility and remix possibilities. The (4x4 matrix of) tracks can be mixed, muted or soloed and contain four completely unique elements and arrangements per-channel. There are four tracks of ripping beats to choose from, four tracks of fat bass lines, four tracks of glitchy synths and FX, and four tracks of cutting edge melodies.

Everything in Sonifi™ happens in-time and on-beat; so making a mix is both fun and effortless. If you are a musician or DJ the sky is the limit! Currently, three discrete real time effects are controllable using the X/Y axis of the iPhone or iPod touch screen : Lo-Fi, resonant high pass filter, and resonant low pass filter.

There are mesmerizing visual elements that respond elegantly to user touch as well as the frequency and amplitude information of your remix. You are not just remixing, you're visualizing what you are creating.

Finally, Sonifi™ contains BT's patented Stutter Edit™ technology and is the first application to showcase to its abilities. Instead of using a mouse, USB device, or other input peripheral (like you would with a computer), your phone becomes an instrument!! Simply shake the phone in one of six vectorial directions (left, right, forward, backward, up, or down) and at the next 1/8th note the Stutter Edit plugin will perform an incredible micro-note or fill pattern repeat, some with release crashes and hits. Basically, you shake your phone and sound like a genius.

Endless fun ensues!

Planned upgrades will include downloadable Sonifi™ media packs containing other artists songs and remixes, new visualizer elements and band & artist links.

Let the live remixing BEGIN!!

About Bitspeek

Sonic Charge Bitspeek is a real-time pitch-excited linear prediction codec effect. Right now you are probably thinking, "oh, another one of those"? Or perhaps not. Chances are that you have never heard about "linear prediction", although most of us use it daily when we talk on our cell phones. Linear prediction coding is a voice compression technology that appeared in commercial products in the seventies and was implemented in some well-known speaking toys of the early eighties.

We have applied this technology to create a VST / AU effect plug-in that analyzes audio, extracts a number of parameters (including pitch, volume and formant data) and then resynthesizes the audio using a simple oscillator, noise and filter architecture.

We have added a number of playback parameters that adjusts the pitch and tonal quality of the sound as well as support for MIDI and a beat-synchronized "formant freezing effect". Despite having only a few simple controls, this box can produce a broad range of sounds from cheap speaking toys to high-end vocoder and talkbox effects."

Bob Moog Foundation Commemorates Sixth Anniversary

YouTube Published on Aug 20, 2012 by moogfoundation

"Bob Moog's legacy lives on in the rock stars and panelists at Moogfest 2011. Find out why Bob's extraordinary legacy deserves to be carried forward.

Featuring: Moby, Wayne Coyne, Diego Stocco, Eric Persing, Bryan Bell, Dick Hyman, Terry Riley, David Borden, Joel Cummins, Alan Vega and Torley."

"Asheville, NC - August 20, 2012 - Tomorrow marks seven years since beloved synthesizer inventor Bob Moog passed away in 2005. It has also been six years since his family formally established the non-profit Bob Moog Foundation. The BMF continues to advance Bob’s legacy by announcing several recent projects ranging from educational videos to a Web page tracing the history of synthesizers. The “Moogmentum” that the BMF initiated in the summer of 2006 continues picking up steam.

In cooperation with macProVideo.com, the Bob Moog Foundation introduces a tutorial series titled The Foundation of Synthesis with Marc Doty. Six videos cover the History of Synthesis; Oscillators; Filters; Control Voltage; VCAs, Ring Modulation, and S&H; and Applied Synthesis. Education specialist Doty, best known for his YouTube-based synth instruction, has created custom animations and uses a variety of instruments to demonstrate these six concepts. In addition, keyboardist Erik Norlander makes an appearance to give a brief tour of his massive modular synthesizer affectionately known as the Wall of Doom. The first three videos from this exclusive series will be available on August 23 for individual downloads or to monthly or annual macProVideo.com subscribers. A large portion of the proceeds will go to benefit the BMF.

A new promotional video, produced by Flying Pig Studios in Asheville, highlights the Bob Moog Foundation’s unquenchable desire to inspire innovation and ignite creativity. It features performers and panelists from last year’s edition of the annual music festival held in Bob’s honor, Moogfest 2011. Musicians such as Moby, Dick Hyman, and Wayne Coyne of the Flaming Lips talk about Bob Moog’s lasting impact on the world of music and the importance of continuing his legacy. You can view the video at http://youtu.be/VO-9JtN5-a0. [embed above]

This week the BMF is also releasing free online video coverage of “History of the Minimoog,” one of the most spirited and informative panel discussions of Moogfest 2010. Watch and learn as legendary Moog collaborators Bill Hemsath, Tom Rhea, Dave Van Koevering, and Herb Deutsch discuss their individual roles in developing the Minimoog synthesizer in 1970 as part of a team effort with Bob Moog.

Anyone who has researched the history of synthesizers knows how frustrating it can be to find consistently reliable information. As part of the Foundation’s relentless effort to rid the world of misinformation, the BMF announces its comprehensive Timeline of Synthesis, which will be posted on its website beginning this week.

Dr. Bob’s SoundSchool is making news, too, with its ongoing mission to teach the science of sound through the magic of music. After concluding its pilot program in 8 Asheville second-grade classrooms this past spring, DBSS is expanding to 25 classrooms in Asheville and Buncombe County schools for the 2012–2013 school year. Using traditional and electronic musical instruments with custom educational materials, the BMF plans to expand DBSS to 100 classrooms in North and South Carolina by 2014.
