Anyone know what Todd Rundgren and Utopia are up to these days? The kid with the fireworks fingers has been awfully quiet of late. From a long-time Todd-o-phile -- Steve Daniels (!pyuxh!sdd) "I'm counting the smiles on the road to Utopia."

While I was in Denver for the Dead shows at Red Rocks I heard a song of theirs on a radio program that was playing cuts from new albums. I think this means they have or are about to release a new album. Don't remember the name of the song or the album but I do remember that the whole song was done just using voices. They used a lot of electronics which made the voices sound like instruments. It was pretty good. ____ " Let there be songs to fill the air ... " ____ Rea Simpson Lawrence Livermore Labs L-306 P.O.

A Cappella was done using an emulator, which is an "instrument" that digitally (usually, I believe) records sounds and then modifies them on playback using a keyboard and various settings to set the envelopes, filters, etc. It is basically a synthesizer that uses the pre-recorded sound (not neccessarily voice) as input rather than a wave-form generator. I think. Terry Poot
