Bottleflock
Joe, Taylor, Ezra, Wilson - blowing on beer bottles, movements (flocking)
A female audience member began humming/singing during this piece and other members of the audience responded as well, blowing on their beer bottles and making noises. The low volume, duration, and visual interest of the piece held people's attention in an unusual way, probably the opposite of what we'd expected.

Working Conductor
Taylor - didjeridoo
Ezra - bass
Wilson - synth, sampler
Joe - conductor, made peanut-butter/jelly sandwiches, served them, all 4 players eat.
The afore-mentioned female audience member sang a spontaneous peanut-butter song while we ate in silence, and the crowd was beginning to revolt by the time we finished eating and announced that we were done.
