In this SINGLE from a VIDEO ALBUM, all instruments are played by steel balls shot out of PVC tubing. From the producer of the original ''musical fountain'' in More Bells and Whistles, SIGGRAPH 1990. Two years in the making, the full video album is comprised of 7 pieces, each by a completely different instrument configuration. Proprietary animation software analyzes the music, and automatically drives the movement of the instruments for highly accurate and efficient animation. Essentially no traditional keyframing is used.

Conceived and created by artist Victor Navone. The animation originated as a personal hobby but has since attained global internet celebrity. The short features the original alien character ''Blit Wizbok'' lip-synching to Gloria Gaynor's disco anthem ''I Will Survive'' before meeting a sudden and ironic demise. It was created on PC and Macintosh computers using off-the-shelf software and traditional animation techniques. Navone has since been hired by Pixar Animation Studio.
