Broken Orchestra - greetings from across the pond. Like the concept. Have you heard of the Porsmouth Synphonia, on of Gavin Bryars' projects, - they were a similar "broken" orchestra, and the entrance criteria was hat you couldnt play the instrument. It produced some truely spectacular results. See them on Wikipedia athttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portsmouth_symphonia
