Llama Butter
Dennis Bathory-Kitsz
About this work: Written for tubist Mark Nelson, Llama Butter is a half-hour work with optional dance and staging. In its full-blown version, the tubist is cloaked in furs on a stage with flaming torches, playing an all-black tuba. Nelson gave it a brilliant premiere -- but without the painted instrument.
