I’m proud to be appearing at the Guthman Competetion in Atlanta this year. From commercial products to imaginative stringed instruments to a contraption that allows a fetus to make music, this year’s competition pushes the boundaries of soundscapes and musical design.
I will be playing an augmented version of a medieval string instrument that I designed and built with Troels Hammer, Alex Baldwin and Edvinas Peciulis in 2015. We are amongst 24 semi finalists, and the competition is hot!
Pat Metheny is amongst the list of previous winners, and judges. So that gives you an indication of how much practice I need to put in! Unless Troels decides he wants to perform instead, in which case I will be standing by with spare tennis strings if the instrument breaks.
