This struck me as perfect as it was an additive instrument and I had already flirted with calling it "The Fundamentalist". Sadly the project did not complete. The synth was completely re-worked as Cluster.

The piece was then used as a demonstration piece for the sequencer application, Energy XT, as music made within that environment.
