In the 2005 sound project On Foot, Craig Shepard walked 250 miles across Switzerland. Every day he composed a new piece, wrote it down and performed it on the pocket trumpet at 6 p.m. All concerts took place out-of-doors in public spaces such as squares, harbors, intersections, sidewalks, and mountain-tops. The performance features pieces and readings from the book.

Let me know if I've missed something, and I'm likely to add it to the list. I've only included events between now and the end of February--the line has to be drawn somewhere. I have more information about most of these events, but didn't want to make the post overly long. Just send me a note if you have trouble finding any information that you need.
