The music is made up of sampled acoustic instruments performed with Soundplant; various solo strings performed by members of the Chicago Symphony (multiplied by overlapping performances and layering three of those performances with Mixcraft 7) and a performance of a sample set of prepared piano sounds. The prepared piano sounds are those created by John Cage for his work "Sonatas And Interludes", recorded and packaged by Big Fish Audio.  I paid $100 for the sample set, and it was one of the best investments in musical material that I have ever made.
