<FONT FACE="Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:12.0px'>Hi, Everyone;<BR>
<BR>
Thanks again to all of you who expressed interest in my project and offered advice about leading a bike ride in Cambridge.<BR>
<BR>
I am writing again to invite you to join us this Friday at Art Interactive for the opening of GLOWLAB: OPEN LAB, where I will be showing my newly finished audio piece, <I>soundbike</I>. I will be also be running a sound workshop on Saturday October 15 from 2 – 5 pm. This should be lots of fun and after the workshop, we will be riding around Cambridge making lots of noise. (special thanks to Jeff Rosenblum for donating the route)<BR>
<BR>
If you would like to volunteer to ride along with the group, please give me a call at 416-662-6031, and I hope to meet some of you later on in the week.<BR>
<BR>
Cheers, <BR>
Jessica <BR>

<B>SOUNDBIKE </B>is a portable sound piece that uses motion-based mini-generators mounted to an ordinary bicycle to broadcast the sound of laughter as the bike moves through the urban environment. The laughter is generated by playing sequences of short source clips that respond to the bike’s velocity.<BR>
