RE: Internet Klezmer broadcast resumes on Tuesday, Jan. 12: Bob Gluck

[Seth Rogovoy <rogovoy...>]

Bob: Thanks for asking. I hate to summarize Bob Gluck's great work in just a
few words, but Bob does electronic sound collages. His "Stories Heard and
Retold" includes found sounds, archival tapes of synagogue worship, mixed
with his own electronic compositions.

Anyone interested in reading more about Bob's work might want to check out
an article I wrote about it last summer at
http://www.berkshireweb.com/rogovoy/interviews/gluck.html.

Seth,

I recognized the names you mentioned, aside from Bob Gluck
(and The Klezical Tradition,  which is apparently brand new).

Could you tell us something about Bob Gluck's music?

Bob
