\u201cCall for Music Makers\u201d Now Open
\nMaker Music Festival [and Campus]<\/p>\n
First Call Open through March 27, 2022<\/p>\n
Occidental, CA — February 8, 2022 – Calling all Music Makers! You are invited to participate in the 2nd annual, 2022 edition of the Maker Music Festival [and Campus]. The Maker Music Festival is a VIRTUAL gathering of Music Makers from around the world exploring sound and music, and it takes place on May 14th and 15th, 2022.<\/p>\n
The Maker Music Festival celebrates the makers of innovative, experimental and just plain unusual musical instruments. You might ask, \u201cWhat is a music maker?\u201d There are many types of projects that fit the mold. The fundamental music maker has crafted their own unique musical instrument. It may be made from traditional materials, scrap materials, modified electronics, altered playback devices, electromechanics or an AI driven robot. They may also include non-physical works like algorithmic music and interactive applications.<\/p>\n
Last year, we launched the virtual version of the festival with over 200 makers and 300 projects that were presented on our campus of 21 buildings. This year we hope to add 100 more projects. The best part is that the MMF Campus is open year-round for music makers, music enthusiasts, educators, and students to explore and enjoy the works of our global music maker network.<\/p>\n
When the Maker Music Festival goes live on May 14th and 15th, these new exhibits, in new buildings will be made public. It will be a showcase for DIY music and instrument makers. Along with the collection of projects, there will be exhibits, lectures, demonstrations, interactive activities, and performances that highlight the creativity and ingenuity of the maker music community. For a visitor to the site, the experience is akin to a real world \u2018open studios\u2019 tour. They can navigate from building to building and \u2018visit\u2019 the inhabitants therein. Each maker has provided video, images and text that describes themselves and their work. In addition, there are links to social media, additional videos, and maker websites. Visitors can also \u2018tip\u2019 a maker via the maker\u2019s chosen payment method.<\/p>\n
Performances, presentations, and workshops will be live streamed over the festival weekend. In 2021, there was 20+ hours of live programming over 2 days, and we anticipate the same in 2022. Sessions from 2021 can be found on the Maker Music Festival Youtube page.<\/p>\n
This year, we are adding a Young Music Maker competition. Young makers (ages 12 to 16) from around the world will share their projects and vie for the title of Best Young Music Maker of 2022. Details to be announced in the upcoming weeks.<\/p>\n
In addition, a Music Makers \u201cMarketplace\u201d will be added to showcase products and kits from our makers.<\/p>\n
The first round \u201cCall for Music Makers\u201d is open now through March 27th, 2022. For more information and to
