Eripa Design and Gallery - Newsletter April 2004

Our site is ever changing and this time the content is the boost.
We've come to our senses and are getting rid of all those non-lucrative affiliate links cluttering up the Eripa webspace. We have saved a few links, that I felt were worth keeping, confined to the artifacts page within the HyperLinks section of our site.

In recent days Eripa has been slaving over a hot computer preparing a tasty, rich and filling page to serve all of your Fine Art Museum and Gallery needs! That is right the Museum and Gallery page is bigger and better. Everything is now searchable by state. We will be creating a cgi script in the future to help those individuals that wish to search the listings according to type of art, vicinity, and of course alphabetical. You are welcome to suggest any missing links or new museum websites I may have missed. To take a gander go to: http://www.eripa.com/musgal.html

We've added a couple of pages.
In the Art Gallery you will now find a new page dedicated to our "in progress" Art Car. Check it out at http://www.eripa.com/artcar.html
We haven't forgotten our Friends...they've just moved. In the overhaul, we have been going for a more uniform look throughout the site. Removing a load of junky affiliate banners was just the first step. If you check out the Hyperlinks section, over all the content has changed from chaos to a tame new text and color focused format. In preparation for a future interactive section we removed influences from our home page and gave all of those dear to us a linked home within the HyperLinks section.
We also felt that since Albuquerque had a page in our site, so should our new residence in Bucks County so we now have a set of links to our local area websites and attractions we find enjoyable and interesting.

For now the Experimental Sound page is active at:

We are currently fighting to get aprox. 50 MB of music on our alternate site in mp3 format but very few free hosting programs will accept the format. All of the works on this page speak in reference to work by John Cage.
Quoted from Encyclopedia.com
"...Cage conceived the idea of a "composition indeterminate of its performance," in which the composer gives the performer instructions that do not directly condition the resultant sounds. For example, his famous Imaginary Landscape No. 4 (1951) is scored for 12 radios tuned at random. In addition, he adopted procedures whereby the composer does not directly condition the sounds of the resultant composition, using such methods as the roll of dice or a consultation of the I Ching (see allegory music)..."

New and exciting plans for the up and coming Interactive Section.
Currently we are planning message boards to give our site a more dynamic and fun side. We hope people will come here to get ideas, share information and maybe tell us what you think about the site. We have a couple of game ideas on the drawing board so please let us know if you have any suggestions. We are also planning to design a program that allows you to choose a fixed amount of images throughout the site and the script will randomly arrange them for you own unique printable you can call your own.

Have an outstanding April.
