Now THAT makes much more sense. 8 projectors with individual soundtracks and
cues. I feel like the doorman in The Wizard of OZ - "Why didn't you say so!"
All you were looking for is information on how the cueing worked to record
the tracks. Not at all as complicated (or expensive) as it originally
sounded. My head nearly exploded at the thought of 8 layered soundtracks on
one cd running 8 different projectors simultaniously. 

How fortunate you are to be able to have this funded. Congrats on, and best
wishes for the continued success of your career. Is there a central theme to
the exibition? So where is this instalation? Perhaps some of us might come
see it, even though it doesn't have puppets. 

Christopher

PS Could you work a little something into the exhibit that has a string or
rod or something that we can claim is a puppet? No wait, you're manipulating
the images.... ;o)
