Non-musical Music Rolls !
By Fritzie Brown

Dear Player Piano Specialists:  (I am a conceptually based visual/
installation artist, so please be patient!)

I am searching for someone who can perforate player piano rolls to
specifications that have nothing to do with music.  Any information
or leads would be deeply appreciated.

Thanks,
Fritzie Brown

 [ Editor's note:

 [ Well, you're on the right track: bored music roll editors chopped
 [ pretty patterns into music rolls in the early days, as did the bored
 [ 'programmers' of cards for the Jacquard loom!
 [
 [ Tell us more about your ideas, Fritzie -- we have several talented
 [ music arrangers in MMD who can also "write a little computer program"
 [ if needed to make a work of graphic artistry.  (Am I using the right
 [ terms? ;)
 [
 [ If you wish, send a JPEG or GIF image to <kravitz@foxtail.com> which
 [ we can place at the MMD web site.  Then you are sure to get lots of
 [ ideas from the crowd!
