Believe it or not, my latest DIY book–Junkyard Jam Band: DIY Musical Instruments and Noisemakers–is finally done, and only 30 months late (!!!) For the past three+ years I’ve been toiling on a great big book of DIY music projects, and it went to the printer last Friday–all 400(!!!) pages of it! That’s 16 projects, ranging from some quick-kid-fun-on-a-rainy-day noisemakers to full-blown grown-up analog synthesizers and effects. The web site now has video samples and a full audio table of contents, so you can hear all the projects before you decide to build (scroll down to the bottom of the page for audio samples). Here’s a little video taste of what’s in the book:
Since the book is going into print shortly (copies will hit shelves in early October), that special Early Bird discount price is going to disappear. If you’d still like to beat Amazon’s price while supporting independent publishing (and get the multi-format DRM-free ebook at no additional fee), download the Junkyard Jam Pack PDF, which features the two most popular music projects from my first DIY book, and includes a 30% off coupon code that’s good for either of my books.
And, hey: Spread the word! I’m really pumped to have this book out, heading into the world to spread the DIY music love, and a strong kick-off really, really means the world to me. The more folks who are building their own amps, electric diddley bows, synths and sound-toys, the better. Thanks!
