SUMMARY:MOOGFEST
DESCRIPTION:May 18—21 Durham\, NC \nCatch our workshops & reading events alongside Black Quantum Futurism collective as part of this year’s ‘Future Thought’ programming at MOOGFEST in Durham. It’s $$$ tho so don’t stress – we do our thing regularly around the city of Philadelphia. \nMoogfest is the synthesis of music\, art and technology. \nSince 2004\, Moogfest has brought together artists\, futurist thinkers\, inventors\, entrepreneurs\, designers\, engineers\, scientists\, and musicians. \nBy day\, Moogfest is a platform for conversation and experimentation. This mind-expanding conference attracts creative and technology enthusiasts for three days of participatory programming in Durham\, North Carolina. By night\, 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. \nMoogfest 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.
