original post by Oscar Fernández on December 22 (English below*)–

Os protagonistas de esta foto, ademáis dos que saen nela, son moitos e teriamos que ir moi atás no tempo e coller un mapa mui grande con moitos nomes de paises para relatar cando, onde viviron, e o que fixeron polos que viñamos atrás.

O Sábado pasado no Centro Cívico de Canido, en Ferrol, xuntáronse para facer un obradoiro Antía e Antón de Mos, Xan de Compostela, Abel de Moraña e, Manuela, Alicia, Xan, Iago, e Tomás de Narón, con outro non tan neno: Gutier Alvarez . 

Gutier foi Inmenso cos rapaces: fixeron bandas sonoras, inventaron modos e escalas sorprendentes, tocaron música de piratas… tamén o foi pola noite en Narón acompañando a Xabier Diaz e Adufeiras. No obradoiro de zanfona para adultos do domingo falounos de conceptos mui interesantes e achegounos músicas que non coñeciámos. 

¡Pintamos Meninas tocando a zanfona!

Mando tamén agradecementos a  Sergio de la Ossa (aprendimos por fin que ler e escribir música é divertido), aos Zanfoneir@s de Narón , aos pais e aos profesores de Zanfona dos pícaros (Germán Díaz, Suso Baamonde, Jose Varela, Vítor Soto), a Roberto do Centro Cívico de Canido… e aquí paro. Porque como digo antes, conseguir esta esta foto e o momento máxico que representa é un logro dos que saen nela e de moita, moitísima xente máis.

The protagonists of this photo, apart from those who leave in it, are many and we would have to go very far in time and take a big map with many names of countries to tell when, where they lived, and what they did for those who came back.

Last Saturday at the Civic Center of Canido, in Ferrol, they joined to make a workshop Antía and Antón de Mos, Xan de Compostela, Abel de Moraña and, Manuela, Alicia, Xan, Iago, and Tomás de Narón, with another not so child : Gutier Alvarez.

Gutier was immense with the guys: they made soundtracks, invented amazing modes and scales, played pirate music ... it was also at night in Narón accompanied by Xabier Diaz and Adufeiras. In the workshop for adults on Sundays, he spoke of interesting concepts and provided us with songs that we did not know.

We painted Meninas playing the zanfona!

I also thank Sergio de la Ossa (we have learned that read and write music is fun), Naran Zanfoneir @ ​​s, parents and teachers of Zanfona de los Niños (Germán Díaz, Suso Baamonde, Jose Varela, Vítor Soto) , Roberto of the Civic Center of Canido ... and here I stop. Because as I say before, getting this this photo and the magic moment it represents is an achievement of those who come out in it and a lot, many more people.

Aku the Hurdy Gurdy Dog! – mixed media by Kerry McFall

my best friend and my gurdy :)

art by my cousin Kerry McFall – a new post on her blog at www.gallerynouveau.biz features "Aku the Hurdy Gurdy dog!"

“Hurdy Gurdy Dog”, mixed media by Kerry McFall

I learned on our recent visit to Sonoma that my cousin Rob is a big fan of Hurdy Gurdys – wait, what?  A hip graphic artist guy in NorCal, into yoga and not into gluten, and his true passion is a Medieval instrument that sounds like a collision between a bagpipe and an electric keyboard and a Tennessee fiddler?  I am always fascinated by what inspires the passions that drive people’s lives.

The instrument itself is beautiful...

a drone that drones – ACRE | 10/23: what we don’t know // new work by ANAÏS DALY and ANDREW BARCO at Heaven

maybe not the same one?* – but see: Androne: or "semi-autonomous flying hurdy-gurdy" (after Tatlin) 2015 by Andrew Barco at ACRE | 10/23: what we don’t know // new work by ANAÏS DALY and ANDREW BARCO at Heaven

Waubonsee Community College in Sugar Grove, Illinois.



if this is correct (?) –

"Andrew Barco begins with a misunderstanding, and moves forward from the site of the error without attempting to resolve what has been misunderstood. Drawing from common knowledge and operating as an authority through the use of academic voice, Barco takes advantage of the conceptual disorder instigated by a polysemantic relationship. From this point he constructs objects in response to a world defined by an unstable history and fortified by his misinterpretation. In this instance two mechanical objects that exemplify the word drone become one—a Predator Drone and a Hurdy-gurdy. The resultant machine is a drone that drones. Barco uses the structure of a Predator drone, the design and purpose of which is remote operation that allows distance between the user and the execution of actual violence. Inside this structure is the mechanism of a Hurdy-gurdy, an instrument that requires the expertise of a present operator to make an ancient sound. This object created from his misinterpretation gives an opportunity to consider the history and application of both objects on a new scale."

this, to me, looks like another piece (but it comes with the same description) –
