All this talk of cell phones reminds ....

Did any of you every catch that concert organized by some Austrian 
composers using cell phones?
Essentially, each person attending their concert handed in their cell phone 
so that the frequency of its ring could be measured. Following that, each 
of them was given a specific seat. That way the composers could use a 
computer to call up any particular ring they liked by dialling in to that 
cell phone, thereby producing some music. The end of the article in the 
underneath link says:

"The performers' grid-based graphical interface is projected onto the
audience from above, and carefully registered with their seats. As a
result, each participant is lit up by a personal spot of light
whenever their handset is rung. In this way each individual becomes an
audio-visual pixel, a twinkling particle in an audio-visual
substance-and the participants, as a group, are at once audience,
orchestra and (active) score."


Sorry if you've all heard of it before, but I did a quick search in the 
archives and it didn't show up. The page has some mp3's you can listen to 
of said music.
