HidyAphrodite's Closet

(The below story regarding this video clip circulated with it but a check with Snopes.com reveals this story to be false. This is actually an example of a computer-generated music video, this one entitled "Pipe Dream" and taken from one of several segments on a DVD by Animusic.)

This incrededible machine was built as a collaborative effort between the Robert M.Trammell Music Conservatory & the Sharon Wick School of Engineeringat the University of Iowa. Amazingly, 97% of the machine's componentscame from John Deere Industries & irrigation Equipment of Bancroft,Iowa ...Yes, farm equipment. It took the team a combined 13,029 hoursof set-up, alignment, calibration, & tuning before filming thisvideo. As you can see, it was well worth the effort. It's now ondisplay in the Matthew Gerhard Alumni Hall at the University & itis already slated to be donated to the Smithsonian Institute. Turn up your sound, relax and enjoy!
