Re: effects on wind instruments

<<I believe that solo is Bunk Gardner
on sax and using an octave divider.>>

Yeah, I didn't think it sounded right that it
would be Underwood, because his solo is the last
one (the live on the flatbed truck bit, after the
deranged ice cream truck bit), and the one I was
thinking of was earlier in the track, but didn't
feel like going back and checking the liner
notes. 

Craig Anderton used that as a prime example of an
octave divider being used on a recording in an
old Guitar Player article back in the late 70's
or early 80's. 

Is there anywhere it's actually confirmed that
the King Kong solos were entirely notated by
Frank beforehand? It sure doesn't sound like
composed music to me. But then, I thought the
backing behind Frank's solo on the Guitar album
were all pre-composed when I first heard it.  

Incidentally, if you don't mind spending the
extra cash and waiting about a month for it come
in the mail, you might want to check out
Karlheinz Stockhausen's Sternklang, a piece that
he concieved for five groups that are spread out
across great distances in a park. Many of the
acoustic instruments are processed through
synthesizers, including some wind instruments,
though again, I can't recall the exact
instruments that are used (I know viola and
bassoon are two that are processed on the
recorded version).
