What's your Guthman Instrument?
Georgia Tech's 2016 Margaret Guthman Musical Instrument Competition is an annual event aimed at identifying the world's next generation of musical instruments and unveiling the best new ideas in musicality, design, and engineering.
Wired magazine called the competition an "X-Prize for music," and contestants liken it to a TED Conference for new musical instrument designers. Some of our previous finalists include the OP-1, Roli Seaboard, Guitarbot, among many other groundbreaking musical instruments which have since become commercially and artistically successful. Previous judges include artists such as Laurie Anderson, Richard Devine, and Young Guru, academic leaders such as Joe Paradiso, David Wessel and Tod Machover, and Music Technology industry leaders such as David Zicarelli, Eran Egozi and Tom Oberheim. The competition has received wide publicity from media outlets such as The New York Times <
