I just received approval from minimalist composer Steve
Reich to conduct a version of his famous Clapping Music,
only without the clapping.
This means that the piece will be performed in its
entirety without the hands of the musicians making any
sound as their palms won't actually impact.
Every other
aspect of the Clapping Music will remain in place except
with this delivery there will be no clapping.
aka "I Can't Believe They're Not Clapping"

That Steve Reich video is brilliant - I don't know how
they manage to keep time like that. I couldn't resist
adding the Shirley Ellis link (see link) though... |

This would be really tricky, as without any impact
they'd have to rely on opposing muscle to prevent
clapping. |
|

Can we just dub 4' 33" in top of it? If you adjust the
tempo a bit it would fit. |
|

Everything is possible today. |
|
| |
A LED light switch pad between hands, that deadens sound
or a little heat and Schlieren photography to capture movement? |

You're a day late with your suggestion. |

Solutions to the hard April problems are usually at few days out. |

"My thinking is that if you don’t have the right melody, it
really doesn’t matter what you have to say, people don’t
hear
it. They only are available to hear when the sound entrances
and makes people open to the thought. Really the key to
‘The
Sound of Silence’ is the simplicity..." |

Paul Simon, on the relativity of the melody vs lyrics. I
wonder
if this would help us to understand [xenzag's] idea of no
clapping during the clapping song. |

Also, I think it would add value and genuiness if the lead
singer would stop demanding that every one must "clap". |
