Snagged from z111, this clip of Bobby McFerrin turning the audience into a virtual piano without saying a word is pretty freakin' cool.

it would be interesting to toss him into a workshop because judging how he uses his body and how he puts the whole thing together, I'd say bobby has done (or absorbed) some Orff techniques at some point :) i do stuff like this with the kids and it's amazing what they can do.

That wouldn't surprise me, he's remarkably good with kids; I know he's done some stuff with the education department of the Seattle Symphony. One year they put together a little chorus of kids to do some Copland at one of the concerts where they bus in students from all over and they needed some of us from the Chorale to fill out the sound. He was in town for shows that week and came backstage and was REALLY encouraging to the kids beforehand. At least half of them probably had no clue who he was, but I was touched and impressed.
