Euphonia

About John Menick

Euphonia1 is a newsletter concerning my work as an artist and writer. As notionally conceived, these dispatches will include, in no particular order:

new texts by me, published elsewhere or exclusively here;

recent research related to artwork in progress;

photos, short videos, and visual art by me, sometimes by other people;

the occasional promotion of an exhibition or screening or Sasquatch-rare public manifestation.

I should mention that these dispatches will be free for the foreseeable future, though paid subscriptions and donations are accepted.

Thank you for reading.

John Menick

Euphonia was a 19th-century speaking machine created by the German astronomer and high-functioning hypochondriac, Joseph Faber. Faber worked for decades on the device, which was made up of a keyboard and organ attached to an artificial mouth, larynx, and throat.
