The Material for OUTERLANDS was recorded on the Villa Aurora Organ, built in 1928/29 by Artcraft Organ Company, Santa Monica, California. This cinema style organ consists of a pipe organ, a wall mounted marimba and a two octave tubular bells/chimes ensemble. All sections of the organ were MIDI equipped in 2010 and are therefore also remote controllable. Some of the recordings were processed with a ER – 301 sound computer.
