Kirkscey) Show notes: Crosstown Arts is pleased to present Duets for Mellotron, a live performance by Jonathan Kirkscey and Robby Grant, organized in collaboration with Winston Eggleston. This unique performance experience—the world’s first Mellotron duet—features an obscure but ingenious keyboard instrument invented in the 1940s which was designed to reproduce the sound of virtually any acoustic, electromechanical, or synthesized instrument. The Mellotron is essentially a giant cassette tape player, operated manually by pressing keys on a keyboard. When a key is struck, a prerecorded sound is played/heard, conceptually making the Mellotron an analog forerunner to digital sampling. The M400 and a new M4000 cycling Mellotron, from Winston Eggleston’s small but diverse Mellotron collection, will be played at the performance. Eggleston will also share a series of new site-specific digital projections to complement the music. The collaboration will result in a forthcoming limited-release vinyl recording of the performance and other duets for Mellotron composed by the artists.
