The Experimental Musical Instrument Workshop was a big success last Spring. This year, we will be holding "build week" during IAP. We will meet, brainstorm, build, play, and record our experimental musical instruments with the guest artists (TBA).
Last year's guest artists were John Zorn, Tan Dun and Evan Ziporyn. We will once again record and film the workshop. Documentary footage from last year is available on the workshop website.
