and broke two computers. Art had to acquire and design lots
of new gear for this special production of over 40,000 notes:
Higher speed MIDI data busses, faster computer processors,
$4000 of memory, Flagship Film Industry E-IV samplers, special
cabling and expansion boards...Over 100 MIDI channels of custom
instrument parts. 64 Channels Plucked String sections are
appropriately strummed, slide Trombones were played with note
bends live, snare motif gradually builds, masterfully balanced,
culminating in loud gong crashes at the end. Customized instruments
