This tune was intended to be the soundtrack of a short animated film.  The primary percussion sound is white noise generated by Cool Edit Pro 2.0.  The white noise was run through a phase shifter which produced slight variances in pitch and tone.  Very short bursts of the filtered white noise were extracted and run through a delay program to create the 8th and 16th note rhythms.  Then a tone generator was used to create the backwards-sounding tone clusters.  This formed the backing track for the Rhodes piano.  After a bounce mix, further overdubs were performed on glockenspiel, vibraphone, marimba, and the Baldwin grand piano in the Chapel Recital Hall of the VCU School of Music.  (c) 2003 by LL.
