Ferguson and Paul Bell (on the role of ambiguity in musical creativity), Jason Freeman (on <em>Glimmer</em>, a composition for chamber orchestra and audience participation), Simon Katan (on his use of "junk" instruments), Han-earl Park (on his work with the interactive, semi-autonomous, non-human musician "io"), Martin Parker (on his adaptation of an inexpensive gaming interface to a sound-making tool), John R. Richards (on the appropriation of found objects and do-it-yourself [DIY] electronics in creation of "the Mincer"), Paul Stapleton (on a new series of musical instruments and his approach to the instrument-performer relation in improv) and Mario van Horrick (on his fascination for acoustic feedback) .</div>
