moogfoundation — May 23, 2010 — "Hip Hop Legends Perform Ribbon Cutting Ceremony on MiniMoogseum Installation, Paying Tribute to the Moog Legacy!

http://moogfoundation.org/

The Beastie Boys have been rocking crowds the world over for more than 25 years; they are the undeniable innovators of both hip hop and rock and roll. Known for looking forward and backward, the Beastie Boys were among the first to embrace the phat analog Moog sound in the late 80s and early 90s at a point when the world of synthesis had gone largely digital.

How fitting it was to have the Beastie Boys swing through town and perform a ribbon cutting ceremony on the Foundation's MiniMoogseum installation in the Orange Peel, once again championing the Bob Moog and his legacy of pioneering synthesis.

Dubbed the MiniMoogseum, the eight foot high showcase serves as the first permanent installation of Bob Moog's archives, including one of his Grammy awards and relics from the early development of Moog synthesizers. Michelle Moog-Koussa, who serves as the Executive Director of the Foundation named after her father, explained that Over the decades to come, hundreds of thousands of people will see the installation as they visit the Orange Peel... which was recently voted in the top five in the country by Rolling Stone magazine. The "MiniMoogseum" can be thought of as a small scale version of the future "Moogseum", coming soon to the Asheville area.

Beastie Boys join a growing group of celebrity musicians, including Stevie Wonder, Keith Emerson, and Billy Corgan who have all voiced their support of the Foundation's mission to teach science to children using musical instruments. In the video the band expresses that they are ...proud and happy to be here at the beginning of this beautiful thing.....the Moogseum. They continue by saying There should be a Moog synthesizer in every classroom.

This video marks the first in a new series of videos and blogs that the Foundation is calling "Voices" -- reflections and ideas from the wider Moog community, focused on how Bob Moog inspired their creativity.

Making the MiniMoogseum a Reality: Volunteers and Sponsors

The MiniMoogseum was designed and built by a team of volunteers and sponsors—the foundation playfully refers to them as Rockstars--including Gene Felice, Domus Aurea Woodworking Design, Steve Dunnington and Mike Pieo.

Materials for the project were donated by Cormark International, Speedy Graphics, Moog Music, Asheville Hardware and Henco Reprographics. This project is the first step in an iterative process for the Foundation. The full-sized Moogseum, scheduled to open in four years, will feature interactive and experiential exhibits that inspire the next generation of Bob Moog like innovators, as well as an intimate performance area, where musicians from around the world can participate in the Foundation's programming.

Special thanks to Meg, Rhino & Jon Leidel for capturing this even on both video and photo!"

via this auction

"This is a rare item [see update below].with CEM3389/5508‏ chip it sounds closer to original PPG than normal Micro-Wave synthesizers. OS VERSION 2.0." I'm assuming this is in comparison to the Microwave II. Anyone know if there were different versions of the original Microwave?
