Photo Gallery: Moogfest 2018

The zZounds crew is in Durham, NC for Moogfest 2018 — the annual music, art, and technology festival honoring the legacy of synthesizer pioneer Dr. Bob Moog. There’s so much to see and hear at this four-day festival — with electrifying live performances, hands-on workshops, the Modular Marketplace, and much more, it’s a synth geek’s dream come true! Join us as we connect with artists and tech enthusiasts of all stripes, and check out our photo gallery for the sights of Moogfest 2018 — from the Ralph Steadman art gallery, to a first look at the Moog Grandmother semi-modular analog synthesizer.

For more information about the Moog Grandmother synth, please email us or call 1-800-ZZOUNDS.

Moogfest is a feast for the ears and eyes both — with an exhibit of illustrator Ralph Steadman’s distinctive art.

You know Steadman’s work from his many collaborations with author Hunter S. Thompson.

Steadman’s artwork, including a series of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas illustrations, grace the walls.

Former audio engineer, current editor-in-chief of zZounds.com. When I'm not geeking out about recording gear and enforcing proper punctuation, I can be found playing the keytar. It's a serious instrument, you know.
