I was a bit envious before with all the grand players lined up, but
Musaire's RCA Victor theremin is going to be there! Man I wish I was too.

And now also Sonicstate.com (http://sonicstate.co...) was posted today. A lot more places have had the press release, so it is a bit disappointing that there is not a bit more coverage, but Sonicstate and Harmony Central are a couple of good 'big' sites with lots of readers.

This month's Sound On Sound (http://www.soundonso...) magazine (July 2007, p14) has a couple of column inches in the news section about the event.

We're in print!
