10. The Joy of the Gizmo
Leonardo Music Journal Call for Proposals
If, as Marshall McLuhan so famously suggested, the medium is the message, then the gizmo must
be the one-liner. From baroque violinists to laptoppers, sound artists have long fetishized the
tools of their trade, the mere naming of which can provoke an instant reaction: Shout "LA-2A,"
"TR-808," "JTM45" or "Tube Screamer" in a room full of musicians, and you will notice the eyes
brighten, the breath shorten and the anecdotes pour forth. But only to a point: Many a "secret
weapon" is held close to the chest.
This is the chance to get that secret off your chest: LMJ 17 will address the significance of physical
objects in music and sound art in a time of increasing emphasis on software and file exchange. We
are soliciting papers (2,000--5,000 words) and briefer artist's statements (500-1,000 words) on
the role of purchased or homemade instruments, effect boxes, pieces of studio gear, "bent" toys,
self-built circuits, and so on, in your work as a composer, performer, artist, producer, recording
engineer, etc. Wherever possible, please include photographs of your subjects (300ppi TIFFs
preferred).
Please submit a brief proposal by 23 October 2006 to Nicolas Collins at <[log in to unmask]>.
Final texts and all materials (text, image, sound file) must be received by 2 January 2007. Contact
Nicolas Collins <[log in to unmask]> with any questions.
