Notes:
	Play with the balance of the tracks until you get something
that is musical.  No attempt has been made to make this accessible
to general MIDI inastruments, besides the drum tracks, which conform
to the general MIDI map - as well as always being on channels 10 & 16.

You must assign all your own voices and balance all your own tracks.
There are no embedded patch-change commands to screw up your gear.
Each track is on a separate MIDI channel for your editing convenience.
I recommend playing this piece on a multi-timbral synth with at least
30 note polyphony, such as the Yamaha SY-85.

This MIDI file has been SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED to overload your gear.
Use at your own risk.  If you get blown out of your chair and crack your
head on the far wall, it's because you weren't belted in.  Don't EVEN
think about trying to sue me....

The newer generation of cards out there (Turtle Beach Monterey,
or the new digital Sound Blaster) may make this musical....

If you get something musical out of this.... let me know.  What
did you play it on?  How accessible was it?  Thanks in advance.
