SUMMARY:Left to Their Own Devices
DESCRIPTION:Part performance\, part participatory sound experience\, “Left to Their Own Devices” features a series of interactive musical mechanisms that invite and respond to audience interaction. Wander the Museum at your own pace\, in your own path\, and engage with the devices and performers. \nThe Devices\nTintinnalogia – a mechanical carillon – is inspired by the British tradition of change ringing in which the permutations of eight bells are exhaustively rung out. The chaotic-sounding results are often heard in wedding bells. \nExtant uses the sextant the artist’s grandfather used as he sailed to Tahiti. The sextant\, a classic navigation tool\, is based on imprecise science\, relying on where you thought you once were to predict your current position. Extant uses the ancient tool and modern sensors and surround sound to create an immersive installation about celestial navigation amidst rising tides. \nHeterodyne is inspired by the inventor Leon Theramin’s dance platform called the Terpsitone\, and his 1936 visit to Bennington College. Heterodyne translates movement into sound\, using one soundwave to “read” another – technology used in early spy devices and in the theremin\, a contactless electronic musical instrument named for its inventor. \nThese are just some of the unique and interactive devices that will be part of this engaging musical experience. \nNicholas Brooke creates music across disciplines\, from collages of recordings with live theater\, to home-built instrumentariums inspired by gamelan. Brooke’s works have been featured across the U.S. and Europe\, at Mass MoCA\, HERE\, Merkin Hall\, Baryshnikov Arts Center\, the MATA Series\, and the Spoleto Festival\, and have been performed by the Bang-on-a-Can All-Stars\, Talujon\, Speculum Musicae\, Orchestra 2001\, the Paul Dresher Ensemble\, the Nash Ensemble of London\, and Sekar Anu. He has received Guggenheim and Rockefeller Foundation awards\, and multiple residencies including Djerassi\, MacDowell\, Bogliasco\, and Bellagio. Originally a clarinettist\, he is also an avid instrument builder\, and researcher of early musical automata. During a two-year fellowship to Central Java\, he studied gamelan and collaborated on musical projects with Javanese composers\, dancers\, and visual artists. He holds degrees in music composition and philosophy from Oberlin\, and a Ph.D from Princeton. He teaches at Bennington College. \nMusic at the Museum programs are presented at no charge\, thanks to our generous sponsors\,\nAlison Nowak and Robert Cane

SUMMARY:Winter's Time
DESCRIPTION:a Bennington Historical Society presentation \nIn November 1926\, Cecelia Gullivan\, treasurer of the Cone Automatic Machine company of Windsor\, Vermont\, was brutally killed in her home. Local police quickly arrested Cone Automatic machinist John Winters on suspicion of the crime\, and the trial that followed was sensational and swift. The author of Winters’ Time: A Secret Pledge\, a Severed Head\, and the Murder that Brought America’s Most Famous Lawyer to Vermont\, shares the story. \nJeffrey L. Amestoy\, the former Vermont Attorney General (1985-1997) and Chief Justice of the Vermont Supreme Court (1997-2004)\, has spent years researching a fascinating and dramatic episode of Vermont’s history: the time that Clarence Darrow\, America’s most famous lawyer\, came to Vermont to defend a convicted murderer before the Vermont Supreme Court. \nsupported by

SUMMARY:Bridges of Bennington County
DESCRIPTION:a Bennington Historical Society presentation \nVermont is home to the third highest number of covered bridges in the United States\, after Pennsylvania and Ohio. If you look at the number per square mile\, Vermont ranks number one. There are five of them right here in Bennington County – three in Bennington alone! These bridges are part of Vermont’s identity\, captured in paintings\, the subject of ghost stories\, and part of many of our daily commutes. In this presentation\, local researchers will share what they know about our county’s beautiful and historic covered bridges. \nAvis Hayden lives in Sunderland\, on property that adjoins the Chiselville Covered Bridge. She has a curiosity about local history\, spurred on by her genealogical research involving Vermont residents. She holds a Certificate from Boston University in Genealogy. She volunteers at Bennington Museum’s Regional History Room and assists with projects at the Russell Collection (Arlington/Sunderland/Sandgate).   \nDavid Pilachowski has lived in Bennington for 25 years\, worked in college and university libraries\, and has long been interested in history. He volunteers in Bennington Museum’s Regional History Room (RHR) and is a Museum Trustee. He was one of several people involved for the past several years in reorganizing and cataloging the RHR collection. Through that work\, he became aware of Professor Louis Puffer’s remarkable collection of covered bridge materials and associated resources donated to the RHR. \nsupported by
