I don’t know about you, but I don’t miss my old typewriters at all. Still, I was intrigued by this video typewriter-centric performance. The Boston Typewriter Orchestra is a nostalgic combo that engages in rhythmic typewriter manipulation combined with elements of performance, comedy and satire. “Selectric Funeral” is their entry for this year’s NPR Tiny Desk Contest and their first piece to include an electric typewriter. It’s catchy, but I won’t be downloading the entire album.


Great eccentric fun.
