This is our annual "Project Shish Kebab" get-together where we make bloops and bleeps--starting with toys, then noise. As it comes together, it's something like a conversation with friends who are on a three-way wild bull ride on their custom bucking musical rigs.

Hey--put it on ALL your devices at the same time. Then _you_ will be a musical experimentalist, too.

Project Shish Kebab is a spin-off from 25 years of bloop-and-bleep jams at the legendary Project BarBQ audio hardware/software conference. 2022 is the second year we've done it.
