Yo!

I'm involved with organising a performane of Varese's "Ecuatorial" for
early in 1992. The piece requires two Ondes Martenots and as I live in
Australia the only way to obtain them is to import them from Europe for
Muchos Dinero.

Therefore, my question is does anyone have any suggestions for recreating
these beasts using DX-7's, samplers, Macs, etc. (ie. more readily available
electronics)?

PS. Why didn't the bastard score it for theremin, we could build a couple of
those!!!???
