in 1983 rubinstein scored the soundtrack to john badham 's orwell stylized film `` blue thunder '' .
rubinstein created the score -lrb- which he composed , conducted and produced -rrb- using various synthesizers , a popular instrument of the 80 's era .
in the score rubinstein used these synthesizers in a symphonic manner by combining them with brass , percussion and string ensembles .
using the synclavier ii -lrb- a digital computer instrument -rrb- and dubbing this with both the jupiter , the prophet and the moog analog synthesizers , rubinstein also created a very unusual sound by placing a microphone inside a large empty water bottle and placing it underneath a steinway grand piano .
