America is out now on Domino, tour launches tonight
Dan Deacon shows are renowned for the spectacle of hundreds, even thousands, of jubilant people doing coordinated movement. It’s a sight to behold, but it’s even more amazing to participate. Now, Dan has taken it to a whole new level with a groundbreaking smartphone application (available now on the iTunes App Store and Google Play) that will be used during his tour beginning tonight!

Inspired by audience-based cell phone interactive pieces Deacon performed over the past several years in various settings from Baltimore to Carnegie Hall, this groundbreaking app truly makes the audience part of every show.
With the help of his friends Keith Lea (programmer), Patrick McMinn, Alan Resnick and Robert O’Brien, Dan developed an application that, without the use of WiFi or cellular data, turns each phone into a source of synchronized light and sound depending on your location within each venue. A device once thought of as a distraction now turns each show into an ecstatic act of empowerment by turning every concert into a collective one-of-a-kind immersive concert experience.
