Sorry list, but turns out this was a hoax. it was a computer animation - not the real thing, I should have checked it out before posting it on the llist, but it was so neat to watch ! If anyone still wants to see the video there are also versions on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6MHpFIyjcY&NR=1 And yes, i know it has nothing to do with PD, but one creative friend likened itt neurons firing in the brain -- "your brain on music" she calls it. Anyway -- it's just fun! linda ---------- Original Message ---------- From: Sami <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Fwd: FW: Extraordinaire Instrument Date: Mon, 2 Nov 2009 01:17:48 -0700 You forgot to send the URL so we could watch it.

This is really amazing....A friend described it as "your brain on music" Turn your sound on for this. Read this first, then watch. This is almost unbelievable. See how all of the balls wind up in catcher cones. This incredible machine was built as a collaborative effort between the Robert M. Trammell Music Conservatory and the Sharon Wick School of Engineering at the University of Iowa .. Amazingly, 97% of the machines components came from John Deere Industries and Irrigation Equipment of Bancroft , Iowa ..Yes, farm equipment! It took the team a combined 13,029 hours of set-up, alignment, calibration, and tuning before filming this video but as you can see it was WELL worth the effort. It is now on display in the Matthew Gerhard Alumni Hall at the University and is already slated to be donated to the Smithsonian. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn ____________________________________________________________ No virus found in this incoming message.
