Hi Everyone!

Time for a quick ...kl...'s Tunes update!

Hmmm...Most of you have probably forgotten by now that you're
on this list. When I promise "low traffic," I'm not kidding!

It's only because there has been "low traffic" in my studio.
Not my idea, I assure you...Had a bit of personal goings-on
over the spring/summer, am hoping the fall brings me better things.
So far it's shaping up nicely!

A few quick news items from the ...kl...'s Tunes front:

NEW WEB SITE
I snagged the domain http://www.kleonard.com, and it's a "jump off"
spot to my home page, my tunes page, and to my outdoors group.
Drop on by!

The tunes themselves are now located on my machine at home, and
you should be able to get to them more reliably now at any time.
The "streaming" audio will actually stream for you---yay!
I have been disappointed with where they've been---very slow and
very spotty service---so I brought them in-house. Just don't tell
my ISP...ssssshhhhh!!! :-) OK, we'll see how long this all lasts...

NEW PICS
Pics! http://people.ne.mediaone.net/kleonard - on the MIDI Gear page.
See Lulu the Lobster on top of Mellotron #805! See me...uhhh,
oops, nope, none of me. The old videocamera I used is in bad
enough shape already.

GEAR NEWS
There's a pic of an Ensoniq ESQ-1 that I picked up rather cheap---
then I found out why: it needed minor surgery. After about $9 in
tools and $1 in parts it was fixed (whew---I got lucky!) Then
I did "Cheesy X" while checking it out (see below).

Aside from the ESQ-1 there have been one or two doo-dads, but that's
pretty much it. I've been assisting a friend of mine over the summer
as he sets up his PC to record things, and that's been one trial
after another---for both of us. :-) He's got a pretty nice setup
going there now, though. Aaahhh, it's nice watching someone else
burning up the credit cards instead of me.

My friend is creating a site for Mellotron tunes and sounds,
and I'll let you know when he's got a bunch of stuff out there
to check out.

NEW TUNES
OK, since I've updated you last there have been a few additions
to the web site. Don't worry you haven't missed a thing! These
are just short "demo" type tunes.

"Hide in the Woods" - My latest, and it's not done yet. It's a
prototype of a tune I've started working on. Hey, hear
the MG-1 in its recording debut!
"Trudge" - Echoey sequence, blocked chords, Mellotron wobbly solo
(it was *hot* that day, and Mellotrons don't like the heat).
Nice but with a tense undercurrent.
"Cheesy X" - As its name implies...a cheesy version of the "X-Files
Theme." I did it to check out the sequencer in the ESQ-1, and it
was cheesy enough to put onto the web site!

CD-R INFO
If you'd like a copy of the tunes on CD-R, just drop me a note.
I will include most everything on the web site plus a few other
older tunes I dug up. John, I hope you're enjoying the CD!

UNSUBSCRIBE INFO
You're here but you don't quite know why. E-groups users (that's
pretty much everyone here) just send mail to
kltunes-unsubscribe@egroups.com, and that'll take care of it.
But please do so only in an emergency---I like having everyone
out here. :-)

THANKS for listening, and THANKS for your feedback! Keep
in touch!

...kl...
