Harmonic Voltage

Harmonic Voltage is the 7th and final track from the video album “Animusic” (2001). The track was originally written by Wayne Lytle in 1995 for inclusion on a MIDI-based audio album, and was not intended for animation. An extended outro was added in 2001 to fill out the time necessary to roll the credits.
