Hard Drive by Cassandra Jenkins
I don’t usually post a lot of music videos, but this one really connected with me in a way many of us might be feeling right now…
Mono & Stereophonic Graphique
I woke up this morning with some infographic designs in my head, and just had to get them out. They are distinctly retro in feel, and illustrate the general acoustics & dynamics that happen when one plays music in a room…
Flatiron Wedge Prototype
While the Flatiron Wedge is not our first bespoke lifestyle speaker, in many ways this is the first design I envisioned years ago to start the Heinsenfolg moniker…
Johnny Five Console Boom Box
The Johnny Five is our 5th bespoke lifestyle speaker design. With two front-firing 4” full range titanium speaker drivers plus a 6.5” subwoofer on the back (all powered by 200 watts of amplification), this 70s retro-style console box can, boom!
Blokhaüs Loudspeaker Prototype
What would a high fidelity bespoke lifestyle speaker look like if the goal was SUSTAINABILITY?
Cathedral Monolith Prototypes
This past weekend, our creatively cool new neighbors across the street gave me a mid-construction tour of an amazing addition to their recently purchased hundred year old turn-of-the-century house…
Frozen Pineapple Serrano Margarita
As the last vestiges of summer fade away in the cooling night air, I took one more crack at a new margarita recipe this year, and came up with a really tasty one…
Featured Artisan : Sage Eckman
When it comes to the luxuriously handcrafted production of our Heinsenfolg speakers, Sage is a master woodworker extraordinaire…
Cathedral Loudspeaker Prototype
Starting with a solid cubic box, I added curved front & rear facades to replicate the arch from the cathedral radio cabinets, but with one major difference— instead of steep or pointed gothic arches, I used Roman semicircular arches to thread through the cleaner geometric look from the Flatiron series.
SubLime Frozen Strawberry Margarita
With 2 full cups of blended fresh fruits (and no sugar), this frozen strawberry margarita is perfectly sweet, and possibly the healthiest cocktail you’ll have all year. So pull out the blender, and take this old classic to new levels!
Lip-Smacking Lemonade
Some of my fondest summer memories as a kid living in the Hudson River Valley were going to the Dutchess County Fair in Rhinebeck, NY…
Button Rock Preserve Trail
For those of you who live in & around the Front Range of Colorado, there’s a wonderful area called Button Rock Preserve Trail just above Lyons, CO…
Heinsenfolg Master Mixtape
One Mastermix to rule them all. With currently well over 2,000 tracks and 150+ hours of wildly diverse music, this is a SUPER SHUFFLE-ABLE radio-like masterpiece of auditory elation…
Bees Knees Old Fashioned
For our version of the Old Fashioned, we use a honey-water simple syrup in place of the more traditional sugar cube for the sweet component. Depending on what type of honey you like, it can impart wonderfully subtle notes of floral, fruit, vegetal or wood, etc. that never overpower the whiskey, but simply add to the complexity of the cocktail…
Fernet y Coca con Limon
Let me first say that I discovered this devilishly simple recipe back in 2018 when I came across an outstanding article in VinePair called Argentina’s Beloved, Two-Ingredient Cocktail Transcends Age, Class, and Economic Turmoil by Tim McKirdy. Unlike my own silly ramblings, this is a real honest-to-goodness post that gets you right from the get-go with his wonderfully titillating headline…
Soundtrack of My Life
As a young green-eared kid growing up in the Catskills of Upstate NY, I can vividly remember soundscapes of music filled with symphonic orchestrations, harmonies & songwriting genius spinning off my turntable…
