This live global community event happens on the summer solstice and is organized by Make Music Chicago and the Make Music Alliance, originating in France in 1982 as Fête De La Musique.

A dozen more DJs and producers from Chicago and all around the world are making pieces this day. Visit the Bedroom Studio project page to see who they are. We are sharing our audio clips with one another.

My challenge for this process is that I don’t get to listen to the uploaded files until I begin composing on Sunday. During my work process you should see and hear me using various digital audio software applications for the transformation and organization of any sound into new forms.

My sound sources typically start from sounds recorded in the field. I also produce sounds with the Springboard, a vintage analog synth (Korg MS-20), percussion, and amplified objects.

Will you chip in a brief audio clip? If so, please upload it into my Dropbox file request folder before or during the event starting at 2:00 PM CST Sunday.

If you have any questions or concerns about how to participate, please contact me. Thanks very much! I look forward to “hearing” from you.
