At the beginning of a show these would be sitting on a camp stove with water boiling in them, steam rising out of the openings. Jim would make his entrance, turn off the burners, and screw the lids on. During the next few minutes the heated water vapor inside the cans cooled off, reducing the internal pressure until the cans slowly began to implode. The resulting pinging sound was amplified, and I believe also run through an echo unit. The name of the piece was something on the order of "Self-playing Gamelan." Jim was great! He reminded me of Mr. Wizard on acid. -- ______________________________________________________________ Richard Zvonar, PhD (818) 788-2202 http://www.zvonar.com http://RZCybernetics.com
