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
machine’s 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.
It looks really Kewl but maybe CG and the info a fake. Still -really nice clip

There is no “Robert …
There is no “Robert M. Trammell Music Conservatory” or “Sharon Wick School of Engineering” at the University of Iowa. There is a Voxman Music Buidling and a Seamans Center for Engineering. The video is a great piece of computer animation, though; good for Animusic.

It’s amazing but …
It’s amazing but everything about it in the info section is false. It’s not a real machine. It’s a computer animated video called “Pipe Dream” which appeared on a DVD produced by Animusic.

For all the people …
For all the people who say it’s an actual machine, look up AniMusic. If you still don’t believe it’s fake, then your all dumbasses who need to go suck a fat cock. Have fun living a life of complete and total denial about yourself.

Joder, este vídeo …
Joder, este vídeo me venía con mi antigua Sound Blaster 16, en forma de demo de sonido. Tiene más años que la tos, y es todo hecho por ordenador!!
May 5th, 2009 at 2:35 pm
I hate it when …
I hate it when people post things that are not true. All anyone needs to do is go and watch AniMusic and you will see that all this is CG and computerized like every other machine in the films. Nice try sounding legitimate, but you failed horribly.

Contd:
Further, we were unable to find any reference to a Robert M. Trammel Music Conservatory and the University of Iowa does not have a Sharon Wick School of Engineering nor a Matthew Gerhard Alumni Hall.
The Institution cannot accept a donation of something that doesn’t exist.
We appreciate your interest in the Smithsonian Institution.
