In Baltimore: How Does Dan Deacon Work?

On this season of Working, we visit the city of Baltimore, to talk to people about their jobs there. We're hoping to learn about how the city informs their work, and how they are shaping Baltimore itself, by working.

Dan Deacon makes inventive, playful electronic music, and leads crowds through silly group exercises. He tells us about how he finds time to make new music, how he first began his famous crowd participation games at his shows, and his relationship with the city of Baltimore.

In a Slate Plus Extra, Deacon takes us on a tour of his home recording studio, and gives us a peek at the board game he had set up when we visited him. .
