One of Carlsbad, California’s best kept secrets is sandwiched away between the Flower Fields<\/strong> and Legoland<\/strong>. It’s the Museum of Making Music<\/a><\/strong> in the headquarters of the National Association of Music Merchants<\/a><\/strong> at 5790 Armada Drive Carlsbad, CA. Don’t let its drab business park location fool you. If you care about music, you’ll love it.<\/p>\n This month, there’s even more to see. Adding to an already cool, interactive space illustrating the history of making music, the museum is launching a new exhibit celebrating the 40th Anniversary of MIDI<\/a><\/strong>. What is MIDI? It is an acronym for Musical Instrument Digital Interface–an electronic music communication standard created by Dave Smith<\/a><\/strong> and Chet Wood<\/strong> that is arguably the single most important invention in the history of sound.<\/p>\n In the 40 years since its introduction, MIDI continues to create new ways to perform, record, and teach music. It also has helped promote accessibility, inclusivity, collaboration, and more. . . The exhibition explores the history and inspirations behind MIDI. It also includes a variety of interconnected interactive instruments! Plan a visit to the Museum of Making Music to discover this brand new exciting exhibition!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The new MIDI@40 exhibit opens Friday, April 7, 2023. If you haven’t ever been to the Museum of Making Music then now is the time. If you haven’t visited in a while, then this exhibit is the perfect reason to see it again. Museum members will get a preview of the show Thursday night, April 6, 2023. For all the detail, please click the link.<\/p>\n
