MuteMath

I saw MuteMath last night at the House of Blues with some friends.

All I can say is “WOW.”

There is something incredibly inspiring about seeing people do what they are passionate about with reckless abandonment.

I was so inspired by the energy, creativity, and passion that they exuded and what blew me away was not only the band’s performance, but the crowd’s response.

It was not just them performing and us observing… it was an experience we all participated in.

The way we interact and experience things is changing, and I think the moments that stick with you the most are the ones where everyone is engaged and participating.

MuteMath and Tall as Lions did an amazing job… and so did everyone that was there.

“…we all break the same.”

    I love that venue! I haven't been to a concert there for many years but I think the space, as well as the performers, helps to propagate the "shared experience". I would also agree with you on the idea that the way we interact with things is changing. Jimmy Fallon has a segment on his show periodically called "shared experiences with the audience" where he once gave everybody swimming noodle's and they created waves. It was something so simple that made the audience more of a participant in the show rather than just there to produce a laugh track.

    Good stuff!

    My introduction to MM was last year at the House of Blues and I am still walking around like someone hit me in the neck with a bat (how's that for a picture). My mouth hit the floor when the drummer duct taped his headphones to his head…I knew we were in for an amazing evening. Glad to hear you had the same experience and these guys haven't compromised with popularity.
