[PD] Request for Submissions: Interface Archive

[Mike Wozniewski]

This is not really a submission, but you may want to look at
http://www.igmusic.org/. There are huge bibliographies, and many many
weblinks regarding virtual instrument design, interfaces for control of 
music, sensors, etc.

> Please send me your screen-shots, digital photos of hardware, scans of
> pencil sketches, or whatever, along with your name, email address and
> (hopefully) a brief description of what your submission(s) is/are about.

> I will publish everything I receive.  I will likely, although I don't

> In sending in your submission, you retain all copyrights to your work.

> Your email address will be displayed in some manner not easily

> Please send your submissions to: <gui at propheticdesire.com>

> As I will be traveling the first part of May, realistically it will be
