The Bob Moog Foundation has announced its second one-hour live virtual tour of the Moogseum.
The tour, led by Moog’s daughter and Foundation executive director Michelle Moog-Koussa, will take place on Sunday, November 8, 2020, at 2pm Eastern Time, and is open to all.
Moog-Koussa will be guiding attendees as she lends her personal insights, while delving into various exhibits exploring Moog’s work and life during the early Big Briar years (1978-1984).
Dale Ong, an engineer who worked closely with Moog during that period, will join the conversation to add his insight into this period of Moog’s career.
“I was ten years old when my father left Moog Music, Inc. and started Big Briar,” notes Moog-Koussa. “I have vivid memories of that period, and will share some of the joys and challenges of that phase of my father’s career. This was really a very special era where, once unbound by the corporate structure he lamented, he was free to focus on projects that were truly important to his creative aspirations.”
The tour will be followed by a 15 minute Q & A session.
Tickets will be available on a “pay what you can” basis through Eventbrite. Funds raised will help support the Moogseum, which was closed for five months due to the pandemic.
And here’s Bob demonstrating one of the earlier products that, unfortunately, failed to gain an audience, the Etch-A-Tune.
Pretty sure that was the original Kaoss Pad. 🙂
