DJ Dan Deacon on Music Apps



Maciek Jasik


“There's no show without an audience,” says Dan Deacon, an electronic musician known for finding new ways to include his fans in his performances. A few years ago he created an app that responds to inaudible ultrasonic tones; when he plays those notes over the sound system, phones in the crowd light up in different colors, like pixels on a giant screen. The phones become as integral to the show as the DJ himself. Deacon isn't the only artist who's tapping into the smartphone to elicit creativity from an audience. We asked him to name other apps that blur the line between creator and consumer.
