Galembo is a long standing friend and colleague of Anders Askenfelt whome any serious minded tech knows as the editor of the 5 lectures, <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.speech.kth.se/music/5_lectures/">http://www.speech.kth.se/music/5_lectures/</a> For more information please check out the website for the convention at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.pianotreff.nu/ny_pianotreff/om_pianotreff_eng.htm">http://www.pianotreff.nu/ny_pianotreff/om_pianotreff_eng.htm</a> Cheers RicB </body> </html>
