Welcome from the Boston Typewriter Orchestra. A couple of weeks ago our main site was hacked, requiring us to restore from an archived copy. As we’re just a bunch of guys on manual typewriters, this has taken a bit more time than we’ve liked. Please be assured, we’re still around and playing, and we’ll have our web presence up and going just as soon as we figure out how to load the archive disk into our newest Smith Corona. Until then, if you need to contact us, please email: bto@bostontypewriterorchestra.com
The Boston Typewriter Orchestra plays the IDEAS Boston conference October 20, 2011.
IDEAS Boston’s mission is to promote innovation and contribute to the economic vitality and competitiveness of the region. Through a unique conference, dissemination of new ideas after the event, and connecting cutting-edge thinkers across sectors, IDEAS Boston serves as an important resource to individual innovators throughout the community, and from a civic perspective helps to build the region’s brand as a hub of innovation attractive to businesses, college students, and workers.
Boston Typewriter Orchestra will be performing on Sunday, September 18, 2011 at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts from 11:00 AM -12:00 noon in the first floor Galleria in the new Linde Family Wing. We’ll be debuting some new material at this fantastic event, not to be missed. Admission is free.
Thank you to RRKennison (do we know you?), who created this really awesome typewriter porn montage using our latest single “Entropy Begins in the Office”
Enjoy our latest single, “Entropy Begins at the Office.” Rumors that the song lines up with the 1988 romcom classic “Working Girl” are completely unfounded.
