“Interactivity Inspires Creativity”
The mission of the Bob Moog Foundation is to document, celebrate & teach innovative thinking. Join us in our benefit event, “Enter the Mind of Moog,” as we transform the Orange Peel into an interactive tour through the life and collective work of synthesizer pioneer Robert Moog. Attendees will be able to see, touch and hear the Moog legacy through six display “modules.” Three modules will guide the viewer through distinct eras of Moog’s career with displays rich in historical photos, enlightening narratives, original Moog instruments and hand-selected audio recordings. The remaining three modules will be interactive instrument stations where attendees will experience the mind-blowing sonic capabilities of Moog instruments. With the help of “neurotransmitters,” technically knowledgeable guides, guests will have a chance to play Moog theremins, Moogerfoogers (effect pedals) and Moog synthesizers.
“Channeling Creativity into Song”
Throughout the evening attendees will have the opportunity to see and hear the effects of Moog instruments as if in a recording studio. A diverse array of local musicians, some with national followings, will perform individually on stage to separately record a portion of a song using different Moog equipment. After all the musicians have completed their portion, the finished song will be played back for everyone to enjoy.
“Creating Support”
The Foundation will hold a silent auction throughout the evening. The auction will feature a vast array of items that are relevant to the Moog legacy, whether it be a Moog instrument, a photo from Bob’s archives, or a poster signed by a well-known Moog musician. A raffle will also take place throughout the evening giving everyone an opportunity to take home a piece to remember from the event. Proceeds will benefit the Foundation and support preservation of the Moog archives.
