While most scholarly essay collections feature chapters by academics from a narrow range of fields (if not a single one), this volume’s editorial team has consciously drawn writing from members of the public community who might not ordinarily contribute to such a collection, as well as from artists, scientists, and professors who write as part of their profession. The variation in writers and voices not only adds to the value of the book, but reinforces its argument that everyone, no matter what shape, size, or ability, should have a voice.\" - Stephanie Jensen-Moulton, Brooklyn College\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"The awe-inspiring creator and thinker Pauline Oliveros is recognized for her pioneering electronic compositions, the astonishing diversity of her musical creations, her multifaceted poetic and expository writing, and her dedicated teaching of Deep Listening over many years. Some of her best-known work, the Sonic Meditations and Deep Listening Pieces, offers brief verbal instructions to allow groups to create musical experiences together, regardless of the musical training or experience of the people involved. An extension of this inclusiveness came in her later years with the Adaptive Use Musical Instrument (AUMI), now a freely downloadable app that allows users, including people with limited physical mobility, to participate in music making in new and provocative ways. This well-conceived book makes available a stunning wealth of information about AUMI by writers from many different backgrounds.\" - Fred Maus, University of Virginia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eSection I: Dreaming of AUMI\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 1\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGoing Deep: AUMI Since Before the Beginning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ci\u003eLeaf Miller\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ci\u003eIllustrations by Ty Dykema\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 2\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrom Punk Philosophy to Musical Accessibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ci\u003eZane Van Dusen\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 3\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMy Transformation into a Masterpiece Musical Instrument and Musician\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ci\u003eClara Tomaz\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 4\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Gift of Expression: Playing AUMI with My Son\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ci\u003eJulie Brocklehurst\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 5\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAUMI as a Model for Social Justice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ci\u003eGeorge Lipsitz\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 6\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Dream of AUMI\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ci\u003eIONE\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eSection II: Software for All People: Improvising AUMI’s Development\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 7\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAUMI in the Context of Adaptive Music\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ci\u003eAlex Lubet\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 8\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAUMI Among the ADMIs: The Adaptive Digital Context\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ci\u003eGrace Shih-en Leu\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 9\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAUMI Development and Developers: The DLI Years (2007-2012)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ci\u003eSherrie Tucker\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 10\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAUMI Technology Development at McGill (2012-2019)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ci\u003eJohn Sullivan, Ivan Franco, Ian Hattwick, Thomas Ciufo, Eric Lewis\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 11\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow Adaptive, How Useful?
