<!-- begin content -->Somewhat in hommage to Alvin Lucier's seminal and terrific piece, I am Sitting in a Room, I humbly present for your consumption the "Klezmer Wake" -- subtitled They Were Sitting in a Room. They - are the musicians who performed on the Balkanish Traditions sample library. I took their wonderful performances and sliced together a piece.

Grab the MP3 here and enjoy!
