All ties in rather nicely with Music Machine 8 I think!

All ready for launch

Yesterday we put the installation into St Thomas library to get it ready for tonight's launch.

Tomorrow we will be putting all together ready for Tuesday evening.

Also I will be on BBC Radio Devon tomorrow afternoon sometime between 3.30 and 4.30 talking about this project with Rick Edwards https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p07f35cv

Music Machine 8 at St Thomas Library update

A few weeks ago I posted about my kickstarter campaign to raise funds for an installation that celebrates the 50th anniversary of the first moon landing: http://kck.st/2H4utZg

I'm happy to say that the target has been reached and it's now under construction.

Here's a link to the latest update if you want to read about it:
