Moogfest is a festival dedicated to the synthesis of technology, art and music. Since 2004, Moogfest has brought together art ... ists, futurist thinkers, inventors, entrepreneurs, designers, engineers, scientists, and musicians. By day, Moogfest is a platform for conversation and experimentation. This mind-expanding conference attracts creative and technology professionals for three days of participatory programming in Durham, North Carolina. Each evening, Moogfest presents cutting edge music in venues throughout the city. Performing artists include early pioneers in electronic music, alongside pop and avant garde experimentalists of today. Moogfest is a tribute to Dr. Robert Moog and the profound influence his inventions have had on how we hear the world. Over the last sixty years, Bob Moog and Moog Music have pioneered the analog synthesizer and other technology tools for artists. This exchange between engineer and musician is celebrated with a unique festival format where the creative process is understood as a collaboration among many people, across time and space, in commerce and culture. “Few other US festivals can claim to be this thoroughly adventurous.” - Resident Advisor “One of the USA’s most forward- thinking festivals…” - FACT Magazine “Moogfest itself turned Durham into a cozy EPCOT that made electronic music and avant-garde ideas fun for all ages…” - Rolling Stone read more
