The Monkey-Typewriter Organ
Actually part of the Monkey Robot Opera; in the opera, Thomas conceives of his work
with Stravinsky as the result of an infinite number of monkeys pounding away on
typewriters. This collective authorship is represented onstage as a thirteen-member
percussive chorus/organ of animatronic monkeys armed with typewriters.

The Amoebic Ensemble, founded by accordionist Alec "K" Redfearn, evolved out of
an earlier group called Space Heater. Originally just 2 bass players and a
percussionist, the band went on to experiment with multiple horn assaults,
chamber-esque arrangements, and occasional punk-inspired chaos. I played
trumpet for the Amoebics from 1994 through 1997

S+7
As described by master verbator Matt Obert on verbatim.woozle.org, the goal of the S+7 game is to: "Transform a
source text using a dictionary and a simple rule.
Identify any words in the source text which you consider to be important to the sentence.
These words are considered Substantives.
Now, shift the nouns by looking them up in the dictionary and skipping
ahead seven entries to the nearest noun."
