On the other hand, what sounds like a lot of notes can be played on a mere 6 strings. And no tapping!

Said Peter...what you're requesting just isn't my bag
Said Daemon, who's sorry too, but y'see we didn't have no choice
And our hands they are many and we'd be of one voice
We've come all the way from Wigan to get up and state
Our case for survival before it's too late

Turn stone to bread, said Daemon Duncetan
Turn stone to bread right away...

That was first published in 2005. The same outfit published "Pipe Dream" four years earlier. The following year it was remade to showcase what the then state of the art in its price range ATI Radeon 9700 video card can do.



Some time later Intel used a lot of PVC piping and its own Atom processors to replicate the "instrument" in a physical environment. Due to time and budgetary constraints the result was quite a letdown in comparison to the original. Then Intel became economical with the truth. Its boffins kept tweaking the emulation for quite some time with considerable success, but Intel kept asserting that the project took only three months from conception to completion. That is bullshit. The currently surviving Youtube clips are nowhere near as crude and primitive as the first performance of its machine, which has of course been deleted.

Animusic has released three DVDs of its works.
