"Canned!" for five blue-air IR sensors. Composed by Simon Hutchinson, performed by OEDO (The Oregon Electronic Device Orchestra): Jeremy Schropp, Jenifer Jaseau, Simon Hutchinson, Chi (Iris) Wang, Jon Bellona at the Future Music Oregon Concert, 20 November 2010.

"Canned!" written for the Oregon Electronic Device Orchestra (OEDO), was inspired by the sounds one can make with a can of soda.

Although not necessarily pertinent to the piece, here three things I discovered in preparing these performance notes:
1. The average American drinks two cans of soda a day, for a total of 50 gallons a year.
2. There are 40.5 grams of sugar in a 12 oz can of Coke. The recommended sugar intake is no more than 40 grams per day for a 2000 calorie diet.
3. Soda is delicious.
