The sound is articulated by touch and breath con- which makes it more flexible. - THE EVI, which looks like an outmoded bug sprayer, is a portable orchestra that fits into a black box smaller than a cornet case. By flicking a switch, rotating the canmster shaped octave mechanism, : , and blowing into the top of the squared off shaft, Steiner can produce the sound of any orchestral instrument in an instant.

Its fun after being confined to two and a half octaves all my life, says Steiner while shifting a high trumpet sound into a bass tuba. Nyle says anyone can play an EVI, but it takes some coordination. The hardest thing about playing it is believing in it. THE FORMER trumpetist who occasionally sat in with the Utah Symphony, Steiner dreamed of composing for and playing other instruments. He now composes and concertizes with the EVI which is produced and sold by his synthesizer company in Salt Lake City. fellow and Friend synthesist Shirley Walker, for months who collaborated with Steiner in realizing Carmine Coppolas score for the film Apocalypse Now, still rhapsodizes about their eight years working relationship, Can you imagine how it felt for me to be living in Salt Lake in the early seventies and to find this t genius; & n&isfjj: tag - MS.

She recommended Nyle to Francis Coppola who was looking for a synthesizer player. Nyle was asked to go for an audition although Coppolas staff was doubtful that a Utah man would have a device that was not available in California.
