ShootingStar

Early Virginia. Tape, not MIDI. An example of the Vertex T formula: bits and pieces of pop tunes transformed -- not sampled or quoted -- and fashioned into a new piece. In this case: The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence and Starry Starry Night comprise the main theme, and provide a song title as well. Not exactly top-of-charts pop in 1986 but subliminally there. The other example of this method is A Day At The Beach. Some theorize that nothing is original, that everything is mataphor.
