Bob Moog Foundation, MacProVideo Launch “Foundation of Synthesis” Courses
Truly understanding synthesis is the next level for producers, engineers and artists who want to take full advantage of today’s increasingly powerful synths (as well as analog classics).
Moogmentum is on your side.
In the spirit of moving the state of the art forward, The Bob Moog Foundation and macProVideo have joined forces to create a series of six new audio synthesis courses for music producers. Called the “Foundation of Synthesis”, these new courses take viewers step-by-step through the process of synthesis using a collection of synthesizers including ARP, Yamaha and, of course, Moog.
Enrollment costs begin at $25. Simply go to the friendly environs of http://www.macprovideo.com/moog to view and learn more about the Foundation of Synthesis courses. Here’s more on this enticing new offering, straight from the source:
“The Bob Moog Foundation (BMF) honors the legacy of its namesake pioneer through igniting creativity at the intersection of music, science, history, and innovation. With education at the core of its mission, the Foundation found a synergistic partner in macProVideo.com, an online education community whose core commitments parallel those of the Foundation.
Michelle Moog-Koussa, the Foundation’s director and daughter of Bob Moog, explains, “This partnership with macProVideo allows us to educate tens of thousands of curious sonic explorers via macProVideo’s vast subscriber base. Through this series of comprehensive online synthesis courses, totaling over seven hours of information, Marc Doty brings the very essence of Bob’s technical legacy to light with a clarity and ease of understanding that is rare to the genre.”
According to Steve Horelick, a master synthesist in his own right and the composer that scored every episode of PBS’s “Reading Rainbow” television show, “as Publisher for macProVideo.com and AskVideo.com it is an honor to be working hand-in-hand with the Bob Moog Foundation and their resident synthesist guru, Marc Doty, to bring this informative series on analog synthesis to our members.”
The launch of the courses coincides with the 6th anniversary of the Bob Moog Foundation and the Foundation’s “Can you feel the Moogmentum?” campaign highlighting its achievements and future goals. Moogmentum is sweeping across North America, building up to Moogfest 2012 in Asheville, North Carolina, featuring Orbital, Richie Hawkin, Mike Snow, Santigold, Thomas Dolby, Squarepusher, and many more A-list artists.”
