NOTE FROM MODERATOR: This is not a CAPS function, and although we fully support MAPS, perhaps this item should be posted elsewhere!
Heads-up to all.
Another Phonovention is scheduled at the beautiful Military History Museum in Auburn, Indiana. The museum itself is worth the visit.
For those unable to travel to Union in June, you may want to consider a visit to northern Indiana in late July. The museum is situated on major Interstate corridors with easy on / off access and is convenient to multiple accommodations and restaurants.
A fascinating Friday night keynote address is planned, with connections to Edison and Victor. Artifacts currently housed within the museum will be utilized during the presentation.
Peter Dilg will be a special guest on Saturday to record a performance of a Brass Quintet on a brown wax cylinder and will also be captured electronically on a hard drive/tape/cassette/CD or any other modern recording medium.
We have commissioned Malinda Zenor (http://www.malindasmusic.com/ ) to write an original musical composition in the recording style of 1909 entitled "The
Phonovention Rag" to be scored for Brass Quintet.
We will hermetically seal one of the cylinders in a mold and fungicide laden container and insert it into a time capsule along with a hard drive/tape/cassette/CD or any other modern recording medium encoded with this performance. The time capsule will then be buried at the Edison birthplace site
in Milan Ohio, not to be disturbed until the year 2109.
No instructions or playback equipment will be included in the time capsule except a simple note stating that each one of these pieces of media contains the aforementioned recording. Our premise is that the Edison cylinder recording will be the only guaranteed playable media when that time capsule is opened in 100 years, as the advances in technology will prevent the ready playability of even the compact disc, so common to us, but foreign to those in 2109. With the time capsule buried in Milan, OH, a short trip to the Edison museum will be all that
is needed to play the recording.
Currently however; I do not plan to be present when that event occurs.
Watch the June and July "In The Groove" for more information.
