The Jarvis Square Pottery Studio is an acoustically and socially friendly place for small intimate concerts. The <a href="https://www.eartaxifestival.com/spotlight-concerts" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Ear Taxi Spotlight Concerts</a> share my interest in the unique character of my neighborhood, one among the many rich and diverse urban sound environments and cultures across Chicago. Over the years since I built the Springboard in 1994, I’ve been honored to perform on it with many different and highly creative sound artists and musicians. One honor came in 2017 when fellow composer, sound artist, and author Cathy van Eck wrote, “This instrument is an excellent example of how the simple addition of a contact microphone can create a beautiful sonic phantasmagoria out of ordinary objects. When you look at the instrument, you can see all kind of familiar objects such as pieces of wood, combs, coil springs, a metal grill, a tin can lid and large rubber bands. The sounds produced by these ordinary objects are often of a surprisingly complex and varied nature. When listening to a recording, it is difﬁcult to recognise the source of the sound and without any visual cues it often remains a mystery, which object produced which sound.” Read more at <a href="https://ericleonardson.org/whatsnew/2017/08/28/between-air-and-electricity-the-springboard-by-eric-leonardson/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">The Springboard by Eric Leonardson</a>.
