During a recent show in Charlotte, Ben Folds pioneered a new element into his live show - spontaneous song writing inspired by people met via Chatroulette.com.
For those of you who don’t know what Chatroulette is, it’s a website that pairs random strangers for webcam-based conversations. Visitors to the website randomly begin an online chat (video, audio and text) with another visitor. At any point, either user may leave the current chat by initiating another random connection.
Folds placed his computer on his piano, hooked it up to the big screen and proceeded to let the games begin. What followed was comedic bliss and great musicianship in it’s finest form. Check it out!
