Good morning, team!

The Sonified Sustainability Festival was this weekend, and had a pretty solid turnout (between 400-500 by my informal running headcount throughout the afternoon).  If you couple that with the turnout for the Gallery opening (~100) and the previous two concerts (a little over a 100 each time) you’re looking at around 750 for the project as a whole, without even counting all the other folks who pass through the gallery show before May 2nd. 

On top of that, we got some solid coverage for SSC.  We were included in the programs and all the advertisements, and also got decent recognition in the local media.  Here’s the news roundup:

• WILL’s Environmental Almanac - https://will.illinois.edu/environmentalalmanac
• U of I’s News Bureau - https://news.illinois.edu/blog/view/6367/349825
• Smile Politely (I’m quoted; I hope I summarized our reasoning well enough)  - http://smilepolitely.com/culture/the_sonified_sustainability_festival_links_arts_and_environment/
• And last but not least, UI7 News - https://vimeo.com/163029259

Not bad considering we were up against Ebertfest and the spring football game.

All My Best,
