Dear MMD friends, Here is the new La SeriNET No. 92 in English with
its videos about mechanical music. As you noticed, it is published
in the French magazine "Musique Mécaniques Vivantes," No. 92, and
is freely available on the web site of the AAIMM (Associations des
Amis des Instruments et de la Musique Mécanique) at
http://www.aaimm.org/spip/spip.php?article899
Let us recommend you this time a few videos:
- An Odin street organ working as a wheelbarrow. Wouldn't it astonish you?
- This video, with a Mortier organ playing the "Flight of the Bumble Bee."
- You know the Autophone, but do you know the Cabinet Autophone?
- Another one where we learn that clouds can bring something else
than rain as they also can play piano...
- Or this one: The Cox automaton peacock from the Ermitage museum
in St. Petersbourg, built in 1777.
- A prestigious cylinder music box (cartel - ouvertures) built by
Lecoultre and Falconnet in Geneva circa 1840.
We hope you like them all... While you are at it, have a look at
the web site of the association AAIMM: http://www.aaimm.org/ You
can now find complete articles with videos of instruments at the
<< temoignage >> page.
Best regards from France,
Jean Nimal
