THE KANEN EXPEDITION - By Tom and Dianne Lewandowski


"A moment later, the hill was deserted. Charred black sand, caught by the strong winds, scattered across the desolate planet."



THE KANEN EXPEDITION is a one hundred and fifty minute musical trilogy created, composed, and performed by Tom and Dianne Lewandowski of Quest Studios. Each volume of the trilogy is further divided into two or three sections, each about twenty minutes in length. The music is a soundtrack designed to acompany a full-length story, also written by Tom Lewandowski.

THE KANEN EXPEDITION was originally written for the Roland MT-32 Sound Module, and unless otherwise indicated, each section's song file requires the use of new (included) patches. The banks are in both "Dr.T" format (the "Quick Load" utility is also included) and standard System Exclusive "SysEx" format. (The Cakewalk versions have these new patches included within the WRK file.) These sequences are compatible with the MT-32, CM-32L, CM-64, and LAPC-1 only. PLEASE read the Windows "WRI" file which accompanies the song files.

Various sections of THE KANEN EXPEDITION have recently been rearranged for the SoundBlaster SB32, AWE32, and AWE64, in General MIDI format. These GM versions use the SB's default General MIDI (SYNTHGM.SBK) soundfont, and default reverb and chorus settings. Use of other 'enhanced' soundfonts will destroy the track balance and should not be used. Because the General MIDI specification does not allow for many of the sound effects and instruments found in the MT-32 versions, only some of the songs found in THE KANEN EXPEDITION can be arranged for General MIDI.
