At first, each new tone can only be perceived \n\"intersubjectively\": inside the head of each one in the audience. \nKirkegaard artificially reproduces this tone and introduces it, \n\"objectively\", into his composition. When combined with another \ndistorting frequency, it will create another tone... until, step by \nstep, a pattern of descending tonal structure emerges whose spiral form \nmirrors the  composition of resonant spectra in the human cochlea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nTo read more about LABYRINTHITIS, point your browser to \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/fonik.dk\/works\/labyrinthitis.html%20\"\u003ehttp:\/\/fonik.dk\/works\/labyrinthitis.html\n\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eJacob Kirkegaard\u003c\/b\u003e is an artist with an interest in the scientific and \naesthetic aspects of resonance, time and hearing.

Like Fred Van Eps -- the gifted banjoist who recorded hundreds of cylinders and 78 rpm records between 1897 and 1927 -- who mastered his instrument by listening to earlier recordings, Mr. Ventresco has developed a repertoire of songs learned by listening to wax cylinders and shellac records of the acoustic era. For over twenty years, San Franciscans have heard Craig Ventresco’s evocative guitar playing on street corners and in cafes. He has performed and recorded with Bo Grumpus and Janet Klein, and is well known for his extensive contributions to the soundtrack to the documentary CRUMB. Mr. Ventresco plays guitar, banjo, ukelele, and mandolin, often with the accompaniment of singer Meredith Axelrod. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eALL RESERVATIONS ARE WILL-CALL.  \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eNo tickets will be mailed to you.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCancellations made within 48 hours of the performance cannot be refunded.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003ci\u003ePlease address queries to \u003ca href=\"mailto:events@mjt.org?subject=Re:%20Craig%20Ventresco20at%20The%20Museum%20of%20Jurassic%20Technology\"\u003eevents@mjt.org\u003c\/a\u003e.

As a result the kobzar repertoire was largely lost.

The album was Taussig's lone recorded offering outside of two cuts that appeared on a compilation which also included John Fahey (whose Takoma label released it), Max Ochs, [Bukka White,] and Robbie Basho. In other words, Taussig was among the most obscure talents the genre ever produced. . . . but he never recorded again. Until 2012, that is. After 47 years, Taussig's sophomore recording,\u003cem\u003e Fate Is Only Twice\u003c\/em\u003e, was issued by Tompkins Square. While his debut featured a few originals alongside blues and folk standards, this ten-tune set includes all originals. After all this time, Taussig's imagination remains rich and fertile, and his ambition to express it on his guitar is abundant. His darkly impressionistic playing style is full of nuance, expansive harmonic articulation, and a signature sense of lyric invention. . . . His compositions and his improvisations show a nearly limitless imagination that pushes at the boundaries of traditional forms without breaking them (not as easy as it seems).\u003cem\u003e Fate Is Only Twice\u003c\/em\u003e was a long time coming, but was certainly worth the wait.\" --Thom Jurek, AllMusic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThe evening will comprise Harry Taussig's first ever public performance in his home state of California and second public performance since his Austin, TX debut in April.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F114148261\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eALL RESERVATIONS ARE WILL-CALL.  \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eNo tickets will be mailed to you.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCancellations made within 48 hours of the performance cannot be refunded.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003ci\u003ePlease address queries to \u003ca href=\"mailto:events@mjt.org?subject=Re:%20Janet%20Klein20at%20The%20Museum%20of%20Jurassic%20Technology\"\u003eevents@mjt.org\u003c\/a\u003e.

Like Fred Van Eps -- the gifted banjoist who recorded hundreds of cylinders and 78 rpm records between 1897 and 1927 -- who mastered his instrument by listening to earlier recordings, Mr. Ventresco has developed a repertoire of songs learned by listening to wax cylinders and shellac records of the acoustic era. For over twenty years, San Franciscans have heard Craig Ventresco’s evocative guitar playing on street corners and in cafes. He has performed and recorded with Bo Grumpus and Janet Klein, and is well known for his extensive contributions to the soundtrack to the documentary CRUMB. Mr. Ventresco plays guitar, banjo, ukelele, and mandolin, often with the accompaniment of singer Meredith Axelrod. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eALL RESERVATIONS ARE WILL-CALL.  \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eNo tickets will be mailed to you.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003ci\u003ePlease address queries to \u003ca href=\"mailto:events@mjt.org?subject=Re:%20Craig%20Ventresco%20at%20The%20Museum%20of%20Jurassic%20Technology\"\u003eevents@mjt.org\u003c\/a\u003e.
