One of Carlsbad, California’s best kept secrets is sandwiched away between the Flower Fields and Legoland. It’s the Museum of Making Music in the headquarters of the National Association of Music Merchants 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.
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. What is MIDI? It is an acronym for Musical Instrument Digital Interface–an electronic music communication standard created by Dave Smith and Chet Wood that is arguably the single most important invention in the history of sound.
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!
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.
