Divided into sections that run the gamut of sci-fi subgenres (nuclear holocaust, monsters, robots and aliens, man-made creations, out-of-control dinosaurs, space travel, and of course, alien invasion) the piece requires a full arsenal of acoustic percussion and electronic gear. Don't worry if your percussion section doesn't have everything on the listmore than a few substitution choices are provided. First and foremost, it features a theremin an iconic electronic instrument of which many different films in the sci-fi genre during the 20th century have made use. Secondly, the piece comes with a movie meant to be projected above and behind the performers in order to immerse the audience in the total experience.
