Neural Synthesis  1-9 (1992-1994) is a composition utilizing a unique analog neural network simulator by Intel.  David was assisted in the design and implementation by Forrest Warthman, Mark Holler, and Scot Gresham-Lancaster.  The system was also used in a composition for Merce Cunningham Dance Company titled Neural Network Plus (1992) performed extensively by Takehisa Kosugi and David Tudor, and after David was taken ill, by Kosugi and John D.S.
