The Bob Moog Foundation has announced a new workshop at the Moogseum, featuring Adam Holzman, an innovator in jazz, classic rock, and progressive rock keyboards.
Holzman will present a workshop on the Moog Voyager, as well as perform a live concert. The workshop will be held at the Moogseum on Friday, June 28, 2024, from 7 to 9 p.m. (EDT).
Holzman will offer a deep dive into the Moog Voyager, which he has used extensively in performance. He will explore the expressive options the synthesizer provides, while detailing the depth of programming available within the instrument.
Holzman will also spend some time comparing the Voyager to the original Minimoog. He plans to interweave musical interludes throughout the workshop.
In addition, on Saturday, June 29, 2024, Holzman will perform a synthesizer and piano concert at Static Age Records. Doors will open at 7 p.m. and the show will begin at 8 p.m. Holzman will create all sequences and loops in real-time analog without the assistance of a laptop.
“It will be sort of Tangerine Dream meets Keith Jarrett,” he notes.
