Extra Information Improvised. I had the blessing of playing around with my housmate Brian Martinson's mini-Casio keyboard. In conjunction with my awesome TEAC 4-track reel-to-reel tape recorder, I created a lot of experimental "music". Many of these pieces of music and their titles are whimsical, like this one. The organ sound on this keyboard and my subsequent creation of an explosion sound using my 4-track gave me the idea for this silly title. The exploding object was actually a piano, though not my piano.
