The Bachelor by Audiowood

The Bachelor is named for its rich hues and sleek lines: think dark leather sofas and black Ferraris. It is constructed around a central piece of solid walnut burl, and has solid ebonized walnut legs. Its armboards are solid Gabon ebony, as are the decorative strips on top. The freestanding motor pod houses a new Premotec motor, and it is currently running with a vintage VPI PLC motor controller.

A unique feature of this table is that its armboards are installed using a single bolt, fixed from above. This design allows multiple armboards that can be installed in seconds.

Joel Scilley creates custom turntables from vintage and new parts incorporating his love for burlwood and other uncommon woods.

GLOW Audio

GLOW Audio
Tube Amplifiers and Loudspeakers that Sound
as Good as they Look

GLOW is simple, elegant, and timeless. They are a work of art that does not compromise but enhances the quality of sound. They minimized if not eliminated the uneccesary elements which results in a pure and realistic sound.

GLOW's amplifiers are hand built with the highest quality components. All amplifier transformers are hand wound and circuits are assembled using the point-to-point wiring method.

GLOW is also green striving away from the "disposable" consumer products. They use recycled and renewable materials such as bamboo and scrap wood. Their products are designed better, built better, look better and sound better than audio products costing much more.

tell-tales: Works by Julia Goodman

FIVEten Studio Presents

Julia Goodman

Oct 1 through Oct. 30 2008
Reception Friday Oct. 3, 2008 6-9pm

Julia Goodman is an artist and papermaker, living and working in San Francisco. Originally from Atlanta, Georgia, she received her Bachelors in International Relations and Peace and Justice Studies from Tufts University in 2001. Julia spent six years in the Los Angeles area working at non-profit arts organizations and teaching at a dropout
recovery high school. She has exhibited at galleries and museums throughout California and is currently pursuing her Masters of Fine Arts at the California College of Arts.

In tell-tales, Julia Goodman experiments with the narrative potential of tracking wind through sculpture and photography. A tell-tale is both a literary and nautical term. Handmade paper sculptures track air circulating and movement. The pieces are all made from gathered junk mail repurposed with the intentions of telling a more personal and open story. With photographic assistance from Klea McKenna, this investigation travels on to film to capture an immediate and phenomenological experience of wind.

The Real Buzz Lightyear

Yves Rossy Flies Over the English Channel

It was amazing enough back in 2003 when Yves Rossy began his Flying Man project and jumped out of a plane with stubby wings strapped to his back. On September 26, 2008, he truly over exceeded this achievement with his Jet-Man project and crossed the English Channel in just 10 minutes.

The final design was equipped with two kerosene-powered jet engines, foldable carbon wings and handles for easier manipulation. With this new design, Rossy had the freedom to glide or dive and became the first man to fly like a bird. Rossy leaped from a plane, fired up his jets and made the 22-mile trip from Calais, France, to Dover, England, for the solo flight.



"It was absolutely fantastic; freedom in three dimensions…I felt like a bird."
- Yves Rossy
