About Us
Making Waves. Carrying the Legacy Forward.
The Bob Moog Foundation was created to carry Bob’s legacy forward by continuing to touch people’s lives through electronic music, just as Bob did. This is no small task and we have put a lot of intention in how best to honor his work and impact.
The Bob Moog Foundation ignites the innovator in us all through exposure
to interactive educational experiences that draw from Dr. Bob Moog’s
legacy of groundbreaking work at the intersection of music, science, and
imagination.
We aim to carry out this mission through our three main projects:
- the Moogseum
- Student Outreach Project (Dr. Bob's SoundSchool)
- Bob Moog Archive Initiative
All items purchased from our store go to support our programs!
Foundation Origins
The Bob Moog Foundation was created upon Bob’s passing in August 2005. After witnessing the outpouring of thousands of testimonials from people around the world who had been touched by Bob’s work, Bob’s family and colleagues established the foundation to carry on his legacy.
The Foundation officially launched a year later in August 2006, and is based in Asheville, North Carolina. After volunteering her time as director for over a year, Michelle Moog-Koussa, Bob’s third daughter, became the full-time executive director in February of 2007. Over the course of the past three years, Michelle, the Board, and a team of dedicated volunteers have been leading the foundation to fulfill our goals of creating a Moogseum, preserving Bob’s archive and bringing electronic music into the schools as a vehicle to teach children about science, music, and innovation.
Over the past five years, we have been supported by donors around the world who are passionate about the Moog legacy and by organizations throughout the music industry, as well as people like you.
