Hi All,<br><br>I just wanted to let you know that I'm really pleased to have uploaded Benjamin Klein's piece for tuba and laptop today:<br><a href="http://www.luvsound.org">http://www.luvsound.org</a><br>And I hope that you'll be pleased to download it. :-)
<br><br>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.<br><br>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.<br><br>Hope this email finds you well --<br><br>Best,<br>Erik Schoster<br clear="all"><br>-- <br><a href="http://www.hecanjog.com">www.hecanjog.com</a> / <a href="http://www.cedarav.com">www.cedarav.com
