Temporal Mechanics Union Temporal Mechanics Union travels back in time to 1925, and the original silent movie adaptation of Arthur Conan Doyle's THE LOST WORLD. To accompany this classic, we have designed and built an ensemble of microtonal percussion keyboard instruments, using the 31-edo tuning system. Join us for an evening of classic film ...and experimental music---it promises to be a great adventure!

Thanks for the good wishes. It went quite well---small but mighty crowd, sold a good number of discs. Still waiting to hear about Kansas Touring. Any thoughts on St Louis in April?
