ABOUT PETER GABRIEL:

Peter Gabriel, a lauded musician and humanitarian, co-founded the band Genesis with a group of friends from school and has been making music ever since. He recorded seven albums with Genesis, left the band in 1975 and went on to release many solo albums and film scores. His latest album ‘i/o’ in 2023, reached number 1 in the UK album charts.

Peter has received several Grammy, BRIT and MTV awards (nine from MTV alone for the groundbreaking Sledgehammer video), an Oscar nomination, a Golden Globe nomination, the Chevalier dans l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres, and various lifetime achievement awards including an Ivor Novello Fellowship, Nordoff Robbins O2 Silver Clef Award, BMI Icon Award, BT’s Digital Music Pioneer Award, and The Polar Music Prize. He has twice been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

THE MINIMOOG:

The Minimoog being raffled is serial number 8538, created in Moog Music’s Williamsville factory in the mid-1970s and has an estimated value of $7,500. The Minimoog was fully restored by lauded restorationist Kent Spong Restorations, whose three decades of synthesizer restoration has included work for Hans Zimmer, Vangelis, and hundreds of others. On the back of the Minimoog, Gabriel has inscribed, “To the Bob Moog Foundation. Hello. Love, Peter Gabriel, 04-09-2024”

The Minimoog Model D is widely recognized as the most iconic analog synthesizer of all time. Its internal wiring configuration and front panel layout have defined the general synthesizer configuration for decades. Minimoogs are renowned for their robust, incomparable bass and lead sounds, which are rooted in its three voltage-controlled oscillators and their legendary filters. The Minimoog uses a 4-pole (24 dB/octave) low-pass filter with cutoff, resonance, ADS envelope, and keyboard tracking controls. 

WHAT YOU WILL BE SUPPORTING:

Proceeds from the raffle will support the Bob Moog Foundation’s hallmark educational project, Dr. Bob's SoundSchool, serving almost 3,000 elementary school students a year and poised to grow nationwide; the preservation of the vast and growing Bob Moog Foundation Archives; and the Moogseum in downtown Asheville, NC, which has welcomed over 40,000 visitors from around the world since opening in 2019.
