Hello from Maine!

The new ARTCRAFT address for 'e-mail' is:

    artcraft@wiscasset.net

Even though high-tech has reached the Leabarjan perforators in The
ARTCRAFT Studio, they are not being abandoned!  This note will be short
since I'm in the middle of scoring Duo-Art expression for a terrific
simulation of an EIGHT HAND/TWO PIANO Joplin number ... arranged by
virtuoso pianist Mark Lutton.  [If you've heard the 88-Note or Duo-Art
roll I released last year based on his audio recording of LION TAMER
RAG (1916) then you can imagine how exciting this roll is.]  The
flavour of duo-pianists and tricky themes, rising from above as many as
18 notes in some places, is really hard to describe.  A Duo-Art owner
who happens to be associated with the NY Philharmonic heard the Master
on the 'phone (in its early form) and has already ordered a copy.  (How
about that?)

ARTCRAFT Rolls will be returning to The Louvre, as before, alternating
with restored Vitaphone sound films.  The series is called "Cine
Memoire" and is managed by my Paris representative, Douglas Heffer, who
builds the new Duo-Art players, both inner actions and console
attachments.

There ought to be an ARTCRAFT Website soon ... but for now, the 'e-mail'
address will reach me.

Do visit our Studio if you travel this way.
