'CMT creates: music' live at Thingamajigs

Well who'd have thought it? A couple of hundred people showed up to see us perform all our instruments as part of the Music For People and Thingamajigs Festival. For a moment, we were famous. I got to tell all those people about CMT and then got to have more fun than is imaginable with a load of old junk and a lot of friends! 


There is no doubt that this was a huge success and so full of energy because of the many people that came together to make it happen. The collaborative creativity is what keeps this project fresh and experimental, once again I'm amazed with what we achieved and feel like it has reached it's next level (not that I know where it's heading). 


The composition brings these somewhat brash and disparate instruments together in an unexpected beauty. I have received a lot of positive feedback from people that I highly respect in this niche of instrument building in the Bay Area, but even people who have never intended to sit through a new music concert told me about their fascination with the piece, how they were captivated with the authentic experience of watching these big machines visually making the sounds that are heard.


This is praise indeed and I'll take it with pleasure! The project goes on, something will happen next and hopefully with it more people will become involved, but until then please have a look at our video of the performance (below) and share it around. 


The piece is called - . - . - - - [which is morse-code for CMT, and also the signature theme in the 3rd movement]...
