I was lucky enough to be in New York in 1997(I think) and take part in one of their "Boom box "experiments. There were between 50 and 100
people in a room at the Lincoln center, the band handed each of us a Boom box and a numbered cassette . They then walked about the room barking orders through a megaphone telling us when to hit the play buttons etc.
The resulting piece of music was actually really impressive . I think the Zaireeka thing was a development of these experiments.
