Bob Moog Foundation Shares David Van Koevering Collection of Archival Material with Bob Moog

"The 40 Year Friendship: David Van Koevering and Bob Moog With Images from the Bob Moog Foundation Archives || Van Koevering Collection

On this very special week leading up to Bob's birthday, we are delving into some of the fascinating archival material donated to us by Bob's longtime friend and colleague, David VanKoevering.

These materials, part of the VanKoevering Collection within the Bob Moog Foundation Archives, give new insight into David's unparalleled ability to market little understood instruments as well as his role conceptualizing new instruments with Bob.

Read the entire blog, which incorporates interview material with David, and feast your eyes on several never before seen documents here."

DIY Workshops at METRIX CREATE:SPACE Seattle

METRIX CREATE:SPACE in Seattle, WA, is a maker space for people interested in all forms of DIY. They have all the resources and tools you need including 3D printers. They also have a number of workshops scheduled throughout the year. Their latest is a Light Sensitive Theremin Edition workshop:

"Hey! We've got an exciting series of workshops put together by resident engineer and awesome instructor Morgan Redfield. It's the Light Sensitive Theremin Edition: in three parts!

First up of the series is Intro to Schematic Design. Morgan will guide you through making electronics schematics, which is the first step in both properly documenting and moving from the breadboard to custom made circuit boards. You'll learn how to do this on Upverter, a cloud-engineering platform for hardware design. This is a great chance to ask specific questions about using this platform and discuss how to plan and go about designing your schematic.

Next up is Intro to PCB Design-- you will learn to turn the light sensitive theremin schematic into a circuit board! You will be guided through layout, finding parts and exporting a file that is ready for manufacturing. Fear this step no more, as you will learn to avoid common mistakes and ask an experienced engineer some specific advice that might help your future board-designing self.

The last in the series is Intro to Surface Mount Soldering. Have you become an expert with through-hole soldering and are ready to move further? Surface mount soldering is a powerful skill, you enter the world of tiny components which are used in most devices today. You will learn hands on how to populate and solder an SMD circuit board and go home confident that you have a working board.

You can read up more or sign up for these workshops on our Calendar or Buy & Learn page. You can always email, call, or stop in with questions!"

"The delicate shimmer of sound I visualized if one were to fall in a vacuum. The OP1 is being delayed and sampled continuously through the Phonogene and WTPA2. I used the Octatrack to sample phrases (recorded from OP1) from Samplr which are chopped continuously as well. The Nebulae is providing texture.
