Glancing around the darkened Gamble Auditorium of Baldwin-Wallace College, black lights illuminate two harps on stage and the lone ray of the conductor's flashlight, facing the audience, which signals the ensemble to begin the piece. An electric synthesizer begins droning a base melody of chords, and one by one, instruments begin chiming in from all edges of the auditorium - first harp, then flute and saxophone, then double bass, until they crescendo into an orchestra of sound along with the synthesizer.
