Matt Heckert's Mechanical Sound Orchestra heard here in concert with all of the attendant hums, clicks, creaks, and other nonverbal communications you might expect from an orchestra full of remote-controlled metallic behemoths that attack each other and assorted props. Heckert was an active participant in Survival Research Laboratories, launched in 1979, with Mark Pauline and later went solo. This program was assembled in 2006 by composer/producer John Duncan for his Cross Radio series out of Italy.
