A New Experience for Creatives: Moog Music Invites You to “Patch & Sketch” at Superbooth ‘22
Asheville, NC, April 29th, 2022— Headquartered in the US since its humble beginnings with Dr. Bob Moog in the 1950s, analog synth manufacturer Moog Music recently expanded to open its first international subsidiary: Moog Europe GmbH. This new Sales and Marketing office space in Berlin’s Neukölln neighborhood is home to a small team of employee-owners, established to better serve Moog’s global partners and customers. (All instruments are still assembled by hand at the company’s single stateside factory.)
With a new physical presence in Berlin, it’s fitting that Moog is set to return with a special experience for visitors of this year’s Superbooth, the area’s premiere electronic musical instrument trade show and music festival.
The Basics
- Who: Moog Music with performances by Dorit Chrysler, Francesca Guccione, Andrée Burelli, and Max Ravitz (aka Patricia)
- What: Moog Patch & Sketch at Superbooth ‘22

What’s in Store for Visitors
Moog invites guests to be part of the art with Moog Patch & Sketch, a celebration of collaborative, multi-sensory creative expression. Together, members of the Moog team and Superbooth attendees will discover new sounds while transforming the Moog room into a giant sketchbook filled with drawings, doodles, and special messages to inspire guests throughout the event.
Moog Instruments on Site: Semi-Modular & More
Guests will have the opportunity to experience hands-on experimentation with a wide range of analog instruments. From the allure of the theremin’s hands-free operation to the adventure of getting lost in a Moog Sound Studio semi-modular patch (complete with mixer, cables, games, and guides exercises), there is something for everyone to explore.
