Hi All,

I just wanted to let you know that I'm really pleased to have uploaded
Benjamin Klein's piece for tuba and laptop today:
http://www.luvsound.org
And I hope that you'll be pleased to download it. :-)

A Hymn to Zoltan Abbassid is a dense and spectral tuba-laptop drone, maybe
in the tradition of Tony Conrad. Benjamin's tuba cuts deep and smothers -
partials ringing out like decades old tape noise. The source recordings for
this piece were taken from an improvisation in Amsterdam earlier in the
year. Mastered at PanicStudios by John McCaig.

Benjamin J Mansavage Klein grew up in Sheboygan, Wisconsin attending
Catholic Mass on Saturday nights and his father's Protestant church service
on Sunday morning. It makes sense then that Benjamin identifies the best
with hymns sung by warbly old church ladies accompanied by out of tune
pianos. The Sheboygan county area is best known for its golf, bratwurst, and
toilet industry; Benjamin is most familiar with the last of these, spending
a number of summers manufacturing toilet seats for the Bemis Company, and he
admits that this has lead to an industrial tinge on his ear. A member of the
improv group ICELU (luv004) Benjamin tries to explore everything you are not
supposed to do with a tuba. He currently resides in a transitive state,
traveling abroad from August 1, 2005 to August 1, 2006.

Hope this email finds you well --

Best,
Erik Schoster
