Smart Dan Deacon Smart Phone App

My best Dan Deacon memory is from Iceland Airwaves (http://icelandairwaves.is/) a couple of years back. Said Mr Deacon was off the stage, into the crowd, and setting the largest dance-off that Nasa would allow (that's the space on the dancefloor of the club in Reykjavik that goes by that name, not a restriction imposed by the American space agency. Although that would be kinda cool...).

Now for the copied promo blurb:
The free app, available at the iTunes App Store and through Google Play, "turns each phone into a source of synchronized light and sound depending on your location within each venue," according to a press release. (Wi-Fi not required.) Check out a preview, below. The app was conceptualized by Deacon and programmed by Keith Lea, with assistance from Patrick McMinn, Alan Resnick, and Robert O'Brien.


All really rather smart, if you ask me (and you pardon the pun)...
