What is a web site, anyway? here are some fairly distinguished sections of pages served here
and elsewhere which I have created and occasionally even maintain.
COKY THE BUG
-
Drawings of the old Information Builders,Inc. unofficial mascot, COKY THE BUG! I worked at IBI for 13 years, and programmed a lot of things that probably don't exist today! Danger: lots of images.
- Vaudeville-era Song Sheet
- Popular entertainment sing-along lyrics from about 1904 I think. I have four or five more of these. I suspect that "William W. Delaney" and "Willy Wildwave" are the same person. UPDATE: In fact, these suspicions are correct, according to Delaney's sister's great-grandson,
relayed to me via e-mail.
- www.wfmu.org
- I'm the webmaster at www.WFMU.org, the site corresponding to the
infamous freeform radio station. I wrote the automated features on
this site, including the original "Who's playing now" thing and "Crackpots and Visionaries Card Of The Day", the "Worst Song Contest", the WFMU Catalog of Curiosities, .. you get the picture? Many of these features were later expanded, recoded into PHP , and improved upon by Ken Garson. Thanks, Ken!
- The Internet Museum of Flexi-Cardboard-Oddity Recordings
- I web-ified this information for WFMU DJ MAC who obsessively
collects many things - but among them are lots and lots of paper, plastic,
aluminum, steel and who-knows-what sound recordings - mostly promotional
or novelty items - from the beginning of the 20th century to just before today.
Flexi/Cardboard/Oddity Recordings is the name of the sitelet, which has lots of Pictures and RealAudio samples and
info on almost every recording! Last updated in 2007 - now with a few Mp3s.
- The Golden Moose Roundtable on Alan Smithee
- Examining the work of Alan Smithee,
"famous" film "director."
- The Naked Carmen
- This is where to find information on the bizarre recording
The Naked Carmen by now-esteemed composer John Corigliano and David Hess.
- The New York That Really Never Was
- Tales of a New York City that you might not
remember.
My colleague in ahistorical research, Paul Wallich, has posted his own
tales of a New York You May Not Remember.
h i s t o r i c a l s t u m p s o f o l d w e b s i t e s
Many of these started out in the Internet's foetal life as gopher sites, which I turned into web sites. After maintaining a lot of them over the years, many of these organizations have their own web pages which are now actively maintained. I retain these links for historical reasons.
- Microtonal Music
- The American Festival Of Microtonal Music home pages.
Now superseded by www.afmm.org! Go there instead!
- Elodie Lauten
- Composer and Keyboardist Elodie Lauten has
info regarding her work and life (and recordings and concerts) here!
She now has her own website, www.elodielauten.net,which should duplicate all the important stuff on this sitelet. Ms. Lauten died June 3, 2014
- Downtown Music - Multimedia - Performance
- Experimental Intermedia Foundation presents a number
of festivals and other doings in NYC and abroad. Also home of the XI CD label. EIF has their own site too now, experimentalintermedia.org,
which is now actively maintained... go there!
- Marais and Miranda
-
Budding website about the nearly forgotten balladeers
Josef Marais and his wife Miranda. See also the official site,
http://www.maraisandmiranda.org,
Go there for more and better information and music samples!.
- ECHO COMIX PAGES
- The nascent ECHO Comix Conference pages.
Featuring a few comics. Wish there were more, sigh.
S t ü p i d Wé b T r ! c k s
It's the Internet Autoharp!
No Graphic Browser required!
The Internet Autoharp! is an ASCII-ART autoharp,
with 21 sampled chords from one of my own a'harps available as buttons.
Another relic of the early Internet days! Also: Notes on experimental autoharp tunings.
The HTML Internet Audio Synthesizer
The HTML Internet Audio Synthesizer
makes bleeps and blorps ... it's educational!
Note: limited only by your imagination. Note again: freshly re-invigorated! That means it might work on Windoze platforms for a change!
Search Engine Shout Out!
Nothing really going on here - it's
just bait for Internet Search Engines to find so people looking for
themselves can find me too.
A r t s + L e t t e r s
