Back in the 80's when I was working on "Beyond 2000 / Tomorrow", we did a
story on a compressed powered car, "sled", way up North in the Arctic circle
in Sweden, (I think), Pitch black at 3pm...anyway, the "car" only went about
10 feet and stopped, and that was it.....A germ in the making though??

Martin,
Did you do the sound for that?
I don't suppose you recall a piece of footage coming through somewhere around
1988 showing "the future of music education" where the show went to a little
school called Highvale High School in Melbourne which had, among other things,
"Shock new technology" like 14 x Juno 106's, an 8 track Fostex tape deck,
and an Atari sequencer?
If you do, I believe I was in that footage somewhere playing keyboards in
a band... ...somewhere...
....I wanted to play the show theme for them, but they didn't seem interested.
;o)
Cheers,
Kim.

Hi Kim.
Yes, I and 3 other soundos did the sound on that show, (there was 4 crews).
I don't think that I did your shoot though, do you remember who the reporter
was?
You could call Beyond Productions in Sydney ..02 9437 2000, I would bet that
they would still have the camera tapes of that shoot.
Good luck
