Has the spontaneous songwriting of Oscar winning Once charmed Torontonians into thinking that they too can ad-lib musical gems? New Parkdale venue, Somewhere There, hosts the Element Choir on Mondays: a whispering / nasal humming / screaming chorus conducted in-the-moment by Christine Duncan. On March 28th, Misha Glouberman will direct Latvian House crowds into a cacophonic frenzy at Terrible Noises for Beautiful People, a resurrection of his popular Nuit Blanche experiment. What do you think? Is spontaneity the spice of life or is this a scene that should crawl back under the radar?

It's like Orff class in kindergarten. Awesome. Bring on the glockenspiels!
