Last week's neat and arty music experiment was an apparent success. The fellows from Bluebrain put on an audience participation project in which anyone who wished brought a boombox to Dupont Circle. Each participant got one track of a 30 track original composition. Playing in sync, the group wound its way around Dupont, boomboxes on shoulders.
Well, here is the video to prove it. Thanks to everyone who participated and thanks to Ryan for the video. This is great. Sadly, I was not there. Of course one of the coolest events of the year and I have a rather pressing previous engagement. C'est la vie. Next time.
Oh, if you want to check out the brains behind Bluebrain, they are performing at an all ages free event in Maryland this weekend. Friday actually. See here for details.

That's pretty cool, Tim. Reminds me a lot of Phil Kline's Unsilent Night, which started in NYC back in the early 90's (when only cassettes were the option.) Does it every year at Christmas, proceeds from Washington Square to Tompkins Square Park. His pieces are beautiful, and every tape is slightly different, resulting in a beautiful cacophony. It's the only thing I've ever seen that is actually strange enough to get New Yorkers to turn their heads, shoot a double take, or open their windows to see exactly what the F is going on. My older brother took me along back around 2000 for the first time. What a blast.
