" The group’s repertoire ranges from Mahler and Ravel to electronic music such as Popcorn and Ultravox’s Vienna and pop songs by the Beatles. "The pieces that Deep Blue pick people know. They don’t have to be classical lovers" Di Stefano says. "There’s a Bowie medley and I take a solo on that. " It also draws on contemporary film scores such as American Beauty and In a Summer Place.

The voice on the phone belongs to Jack Dangers founding member of the electronic music outfit Meat Beat Manifesto (MBM). In all fairness Dangers is more engineer than musician; if only because while the musician claims the aural realm the engineer lords over all-audio video tacticile time and space. With a tour of multimedia performances lined up to support the release of MBM’s most recent album Autoimmune Jack Dangers took a moment to discuss with the Daily Cal his synesthetic showmanship. The Daily Californian: You’ve been in the industry almost 20 years now as MBM. Have audiences changed in that time especially regarding technological fluency? Jack Dangers: Over here it was always a lot more advanced than where I was living in Europe with the whole internet thing in the early ’90s.
