Music For People & Thingamajigs began in 1997 at Mills College. It was created by Dylan Bolles and Edward Schocker. Originally conceived as a forum for composers/performers who develop new and unique ways of producing sound, it soon broke out of the college environment and into a large public offering.

Now in its 8th year, MFP&T is the only annual event of its kind in the United States. Past participants include Pauline Oliveros, Peter Whitehead, Brenda Hutchinson, William Winant, and Laetitia Sonami.

Text Box: Music for People and Thingamajigs The Music For People & Thingamajigs Festival is an annual event dedicated to promoting music of made/found instruments and alternate tuning systems. Each year, MFP&T invites artists who design their own musical instruments to join in a festival of workshops, music making, and performances. It is also a festival where the public can participate in instrument building and tuning workshops, as well as hear unique sounds and compositions from up and coming artists.
