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.
Lifehouse (rock opera) Lifehouse was a science fiction rock opera by the Who intended as a follow-up to "Tommy". It was abandoned as a rock opera in favour of creating the traditional rock album "Who's Next", though its songs would appear on various albums and singles by the Who, as well as Pete Townshend's solo albums. In 1978, aspects of the Lifehouse project were revisited by the Who on "Who Are You". In 2000, Townshend revived the Lifehouse concept with his set "Lifehouse Chronicles" and the sampler "Lifehouse Elements". On 1 May 2007, Townshend released online software called "The Lifehouse Method" in which any "sitter" could create a musical "portrait". The site is now defunct.
