Filmusic "Picturoll" Piano Rolls
By Warren Trachtman

Back in 2005/2006, I was involved in a project for the Museum of
Modern Art (MOMA) of New York.  As part of that project, I scanned
(archival quality scans) 41 Picturoll piano rolls.

I believe the intent was for MOMA to make recuts available of those
rolls, but I don't know if they actually followed through with that.
Because of the nature of the project, I am not at liberty to make the
files from these scans available to anyone else.  They are also not
listed on my rollscan website.  Nevertheless, if the information is
useful, the list below gives the 41 Picturerolls for which I have
archival quality rollscans.

Picturoll 1074 Spinning Song
Picturoll 1177 In A Persian Market(1920)

Also, unrelated to the MOMA project, I have scanned
Picturoll  901 Justin-Tyme  which is listed on my website at
  http://www.trachtman.org/rollscans/RollListing.php 

This file would not be under the same distribution restrictions
if someone were to be interested in recutting it.  I hope this
information is useful.

Regards,

Warren Trachtman
