Welcome to Electric Earth Music
Electric Earth Music is your online portal to, John Hardin’s off-grid, solar-powered recording studio, located deep in the forest in Humboldt County in Northern California where he channels the power of the sun into a world of diverse creative expressions from music and movies, to books and articles, to workshops and live performances. John makes unusual music with a number of instruments, many of which he invented, writes poignant and insightful essays on a variety of topics, and he loves to travel and perform live for an appreciative audience.

Workshops
Learn about educational workshops. Do you want to learn to play the didgeridoo, or have a group of kids you need to entertain for an hour or so? I offer a didgeridoo workshop suitable to young children. Perhaps you would like to learn how to build a synthesizer, or an amplifier, or circuit-bend electronic toys, or build unique electro-acoustic instruments. I can teach you, or plan a workshop to show your group how to do it.
