Here’s part of the Moogfest 2010 announcement. Click here to read it all. Amazing.
In addition to MoogFest’s excellent musical offerings, the festival will also give attendees a chance to dig deeper into the world of Moog with a wide range of panel discussions and workshops.
The Red Bull Music Academy has teamed up with AC Entertainment, Moog Music and the Bob Moog Foundation to bring together top minds in history, technology and education of Moog. Experts, ranging from Bob’s colleagues in the seminal days of synthesis to the more contemporary sound sculptors of today, are coming from around the country to share their ideas and vast experiences. The Bob Moog Foundation will be responsible for the historical content at MoogFest, including items from Bob Moog’s archives such as rarely seen vintage photographs and historic audio clips from recently restored reel-to-reel tapes.
All panels, demonstrations, and workshops will take place between Noon and 6:30 PM EST at the Moogaplex, located at the Haywood Park complex. They are first come, first served for those who bought either weekend passes or have a pass for that particular day. The dates, and times will be announced in the coming weeks.
