Does anybody know what the newest Martin Wesley-Smith piece is for marimba and tape? And if Weiss sells it...

Martin Wesley-Smith has a new audio-visual piece out called "weapons of mass distortion". Like "For Marimba and Tape", it is originally scored for clarinet and electronics, but MWS suggests it may be playable on marimba. From my examination, the solo part is more suited to clarinet than marimba, to a much greater extent than in FM&T.

The audio-visual component of the piece is a MAC-based projection of a wicked sendup of U.S. President Bush. As such, I only regret that it doesn't have a more idiomatic marimba part!

I received my copy directly from the composer and I doubt if Steve Weiss has it.
