Thingamajigs.org is an organization working to:

tuning systems

2) showcase artists working in this medium, and give
such artists a forum for showing their work

3) expose the general public, and especially children,
to new ways of experiencing sound

Previous Music for People and Thingamajigs festivals
have included work of (or participation by ) Pauline
Oliveros, Lou Harrison, Laetitia Sonami, Walter
Kitundu, Bart Hopkin, Carla Kihlstedt, Peter
Whitehead, Willie Winant, Lisa Moskow and many others.
