Chance Meeting
Friday April 29th, 2022 with Heavy Ben
From the Library: Klaus Netzle (Claude Larson)

Chance meeting on a mikrokosmos of materials and wildlife Klaus Netzle - the alias of Claude Larson and Gyan Nishabda - was born April 26 1926 in Munic, died April 19 2019 in Munic, and in between delivered top shelf library funk and electronics... recorded when he was in his 50s and 60s. A posthumous happy birthday to the German library composer, whom I neglected to include in the Heavy Friends In Memoriam for 2019 (no news outlet reports on musicians like this).

This final piece should appeal to the recently departed Klaus Schulze. R.I.P. to one of the best. The full 12 minutes are heard "on demand", but you'll get 7+ on the regular broadcast.
