Did anyone else see TI's demo of 1080p on their next-generation (fifth?) 
DLP chipset at CES?  There was an absolutely mesmerizing 
computer-generated video being shown before the spokesmodel started her 
pitch.  The video was a Rube Goldberg sort of machine which had balls 
being launched out of air tubes and landing on various musical 
instruments (typically percussion and xylophone), then bouncing back 
into a funnel for recycling.  The music was quite innovative,  and every 
note was the result of a ball bouncing somewhere with dozens in motion 
at any given moment.  Meanwhile all the instruments were in motion as 
well with the xylophone keys on a sort of train track moving under the 
balls, while the camera's perspective was constantly shifting and 
lighting effects were changing.

Does this ring a bell with anyone?  I'd love to find the source for this 
animation...
