My submission for the Second Annual Guthman Musical Instrument Competition was accepted last week. The competition will take place at the Georgia Tech Center for Music Technology on Friday, February 26, 2010 and Saturday February 27, 2010. As mentioned in the earlier postabout my recent video, Wired also featured this article about last year’s competition.
I will make more details available here as they become available, or visit the Georgia Tech website.
This evening I uploaded a 5-minute video about the springboard to my youtube account. I made it two years ago with Gretchen Hasse. Please use this link to view: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id0MDuHX1hY
About the Park District’s Concerts in the Parks series:
Join Eric Leonardson in sonically activating the Lake Crescent Playground. This event is a part of the Park District’s “Concerts in the Parks” series, offering Chicago families a fun, affordable way to spend an evening in their own community. Bring a lawn chair or blanket, but prepare to play and listen to the playground in a totally different way. All concerts are FREE!

On Wednesday the May-June issue of the World Forum for Acoustic Ecology’s online newsletter was published with my report about the Sound Megalopolis conference in Mexico City.
The new edition of my book, Handmade Electronic Music – The Art of Hardware Hacking, is out! Lots of new circuits and illustrations, more examples of artists’ designs, and a DVD with 87 1-minute video clips by hackers from all over the globe, as well as a series of step-by-step video tutorials by me.
Here’s a little reminder: on Saturday, May 2, at 3PM Quimby’s Bookstore (1854 W. North Avenue) is hosting a book release party. I’ll screen some video, sign books, and the Chicago Symphacking Orchestra (CSO) will perform. See http://www.quimbys.com/.

I like to show Brian Springer’s 1995 video, Spin to my students at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, especially when Presidential election time rolls around. This video is housed in the collection of the Video Data Bank at SAIC, one of the foremost collections of video by artists in the United States. Last month I surprised to discover that Spin can now be seen online on Google Video.
