Mr. Bratman is studious appearing man
with bemused eyebrows and alertly dedicated
ears. Any elusive noise presents challenge
to him to duplicate mechanically.
He can initiate a vast number of common
sounds and many odd ones. His gimmicks
range from simple piece of bent tin which
makes like a contented cricket to massive
French horn stuffed with electronic tubes and
intricate hookups This gives Space Fantasy

Born in Baltimore, Bratman became inter-

arrived little late Only a drum was left.
He became drummer.
He stuck to it, became professional and
went on tour with concert orchestras.

noises professionally.
