I don't have much in the way of hard information to offer, but
the following snippets come from a letter which accompanied a sampler
tape which a New York friend sent me back in 1985.

"The second cut (or cuts) are by Laraaji, a hammered-dulcimer player
whose one album was produced by the abovementioned chromedome and may be
found, doubtless because of its having been issued in the Ambient
series, in Eno bins everywhere -- the world will have to wait, I guess,
for Laraaji bins.  Meanwhile, Mr. L, otherwise known as 'Larry', may
be found in Washington Square Park playing guitar and hammered dulcimer
on a warmish winter's day, but only if your name is John C___ ((a mutual
friend of ours)) and you're *already* into the habit of bumping into
Allen Ginsberg on Avenue D."

Not very informative, I know.
