Tribute to Lou Harrison - 19th Annual Music for People & Thingamajigs Festival
Thingamajigs presents the 2016 edition of the sound-art festival that started it all. A power-pack of musical works of homemade instruments, found objects, and alternate tunings by some of the Bay Areas most innovative artists; the 19th Annual MFP&T festival is a step further in Thingamajigs search for sounds; as it extends the spirit beyond its artist community. In order to achieve this, the festival will be held over 3 weekends and in different venues around Bay Area.

2016 also marks the beginning of a year-long tribute to the composer Lou Harrison. 19th MFP&Ts last leg on October 16th will kick-off this commemoration project with special concerts. Featured here will be a performance by Bay Area legendary percussionist Willie Winant, who will present pieces on a special bell instrument designed by Lou Harrison and his partner Bill Colvig. Another group - Pet the Tiger Instrument Inventors Collective will present pieces on a new instrument called The (Theta-Schumann) Harmonic Series Gamelan. This is an intense work of alternate tunings, inspired by the works of Lou Harrison.
