Music for Japanese Noh theatre? A monologue from Hamlet translated into the Czech language and set to a Eurodisco rhythm track? Delta blues score for a Tennessee Williams play? Need music using such hard-to-find instruments as the Chinese bamboo flute or Indian gopachend? Ed Kliman is just the type of composer our clients love! A recent quote from Ed, "Welcome to the skills and working life of the most versatile musician on the planet!" Hyperbole? Awww, we think not...
