No, we just had a new team of designers... Myself, Mike Jackson, and Brian Mason (for the music) and we thought it would be cool to do something original to enhance the idea by Pete Weber and Mike McCool. We looked seriously at Paganini's Moto Perpetuo but decided that all original was more modern and appropriate rather than manipulating his work. Another interesting fact... Mvts 2, 3, and 4 that were performed at DCI were actually 2nd complete compositions. The corps never got the original movements except a test snippet of Mvt. 2. Those drafts were only ever known of by no more than 4-5 people.
