It's th same scale that our electric organ is tuned to (which Jacob obtained & retuned some years ago & Ben Michaelis recently spruced up with a new switch & some dandy electrical tape). You may have heard this instrument in performance at the House Theater in December for our finale, <span style="font-style: italic;">Is What You See What You See</span>,
words by Michael Gaiuranos.<br><br>At this point, I'm marking fret locations with a pencil. I doubt I'll get around to supergluing frets tonight, unless I go into th wee hours. If you'd like to see this project-in-progress, then do visit. Bring your own something-or-another, if you'd like to do a quiet working-on in good company.<br><br><span style="text-decoration: underline;">MTMO in 2010</span><br><br>Tomorrow, Monday, we'll host our second Meeting to Make Oddmusic in 2010, in which we splatter our project ideas together, figure out ways that they can befriend & nest each other, & start building a calendar. You're invited! We'll go from 5:30 to 7pm in th Oddmusic space at th IMC.<br><br>(I was delighted to find out last night about a meeting that took place last Monday in Chicagoland (co-incident with th first MTMO) with some friends of ours interested in making connections to th paradigm-smashing work of
microtonal composition & visual art. Jacob & I have been talking about putting together an Oddmusic Gallery Exhibit later in th year, & I'm excited to participate in further conversations about visual analogues to musical ideas.)<br><br><span style="text-decoration: underline;">newcal</span><br><br>& typing of calendars, we've started maintaining a public calendar thru Google, which you can peer at <a href="http://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=2iogk438erke96o49372lke4eg%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=America%2FChicago&gsessionid=iS2KSdGvLGGniswd2lq6hw">here</a>. I think it would be a piece of cake for you to subscribe to th calendar in order to keep up-to-date on upcomings. Also, if you are involved with organizing Oddmusicky things & want to have access to th calendar as editor, get in touch!<br><br>Bestwishingyou,<br>Andrew<br></div>
