Good news for all friends of sound artist Jacob Kirkegaard (see earlier post here), and for all fans of the Museum of Jurassic Technology (MJT) in Culver City — Jacob has just given a sold-out performance of his inner-ear sound work ‘Labyrinthitis’ in the MJT’s Tula Tea Room. Read Jacob’s impressions from the MJT here. The Athanasius Kircher connection is obvious! Not [...]

Museums are a significant part of the global science learning and experience economy. There are many hundreds, maybe thousands, of science, technology and medical museums and science centers around the world. The Association of Science-Technology Centers presently lists 447 institutions, but they don’t list small, regional and local museums. This STM-sector of the museum industry (let’s forget about...

I was away in California (and, briefly, British Columbia) for a couple of weeks, hence the silence. (Actually I’ve been back for almost a week now, but I was quite enjoying the silence, so I let it linger.) I think I was on holiday, but I ended up visiting four university campuses while I was [...]

We've mentioned it in passing before, but there is a charming little museum in LA. Styled after a cabinet of wonders of days gone by, the Museum of Jurassic Technology takes you on a tour through human knowledge. At first you don't know what it's about. A joke? A spoof on museums? First the visitor is shown a filmstrip of the history of museums - which really truns out to be a history of the collection...

In LA en route to Bangkok, we spent the weekend with our friends Aimee and Becky. It's our first trip to LA, so we're grateful for good tourguides, who took us everywhere, from the Center for Land Use Interpretation and the Museum of Jurassic Technology in Culver City to REDCAT and the Mandrake , a Chinese restaurant in Arcadia that serves possibly the world's best dumplings to the galleries in Chinatown....

Hail, Maniacs! Hope y'all had a weird holiday. I sure did - I visited the Museum of Jurassic Technology and bought an album of music made out of cave rock formations. But I'll get to all that later. First some announcements: I won't be posting as much anymore, once a week probably. When I started this here web-log, there really weren't any other strange-music blogs. There was Basic Hip, which posted...
