Paul ponders the meaning of it all

Eric prepares for some
last-minute adjustments

Eric gets down

Mac (and Digital Performer) at work

Hearing it up in the rafters

The crowd surges forward

From behind the pianos

A few machines

Not an inappropriate reaction

The bells

Up close and personal with
a xylophone

One of the airplane propellors

Here's the whole thing on video (25-Meg file)
