2112 (song) "2112" (pronounced twenty-one twelve) is a side-long title track from Canadian rock band Rush's 1976 album of the same name. The overture and the first section, "Temples of Syrinx", were released as a single and have been featured in most of Rush's setlists since. The "sci-fi" sounds in the beginning of the song were created using an ARP Odyssey synthesizer and an Echoplex tape delay. On the "2112 / Moving Pictures" episode of the documentary series "Classic Albums", producer Terry Brown states the synth intro is composed of various parts played by Hugh Syme that were put together in a collage. Since 1997, when any parts of the song are performed live, they are transposed down one full step, as heard on every live album and DVD from "Different Stages" forward.
