Description: This tape piece is an imaginary funeral procession written by Tess for her mother,
Pearl Evans Isenbergh, 1917-2005.
Credits: The piano clip that opens and closes the piece is one Tess heard
her Mom play for ballet classes
when she was a child. The short guitar clip is borrowed
from a beautiful 10-Instruments MIDI version of Sweet
Chicago
and is not in beat time -- much like a funeral
shofar.
Fruity Loop percussion samples were battered to make the
other sounds.
For instance, the train is a Fxed snare loop.

Description: "Dhere dhere", a well-known Classical North Indian tabla drumvsong
provides the foundation for this tape piece by Tess Heder.
The rendition was home-recorded by Tess (playing tablas) and SuZen
(on percussion) in November 1982. The original song track has
been dubbed
with various additions and sound effects such as
vocoded segments, MIDI songs,
and short clips from recent
Don Byron jazz clarinet CDs.
For Max in A was written soon after the death
of Tessa's father,
Max Isenbergh, 1913-2001, a life-long clarinettist.
It also acknowledges 2001 - Year of the White Snake.
