One thing I was really excited to read about was the audience participation
aspect of the show. This particularly intrigued me because I had suggested
to Trey on the phone that they might try this! That conversation came about
as a result of something he said during the post-Somerville interview, that
they'd like to tour with a choir, who could (for example) sing a dissonant
chord during the jam in Tweezer. I suggested having the audience do it,
in response to some sort of signal from the band, and sent him a copy of
an interview with Brian Eno where he talks about trying something like
this:
"I noticed this when I worked on this Cornelius Cardew piece a long time
ago called `The Great Learning'. The first instruction is `Sing any note'.
You choose randomly. And you do it with a big group of people. And the
first chord they hit is very dense and beautiful because people really are
singing every note. But they very quickly slide into a few families of notes.
And I always liked that first note when you have this beautiful, dense,
breathy sound."
