Forgot to reply to this thread earlier. My fair lady Reg showed me a QT clip the other day called Pipe Dream. An amazing piece of work depicting a masterpiece of automation and surely an unusual instrument if it existed! Trying to describe it in words is hard but here goes. Imagine a room full of pipes, strings, drums, tubular bells, and xylophones in both circular and conveyor belt(!!) form. Imagine them then being plucked, hit, played by balls shot out of pressurised pipes. Has to be seen to appreciate it, and the attention to detail is such that I get the impression that if you were to frame-by-frame it, each action would sync up perfectly with the soundtrack. Haven't been in such awe of a clip since seeing the Gate for the first time (oh and Randy Glass' brilliant Warthog jumps :-) Does anyone have the DVD this is on?? I'm very tempted to grab a copy! An overview of it and the DVD, together with a sample clip is here: and a review here Would love to see Thomas collaborate in one of these efforts! I believe that cgchannel.com has the full version of the clip somewhere but I got too distracted by all the other yummy eye candy there to find the URL sorry. :-) here's hoping, pleading, praying, begging that sanity and peace will prevail in the coming days... stay well, Paul.
