Reas had a working relationship with The Creators Project, and according to Hunter he was interested in applying his craft to a more performative environment and exploring creative concepts outside his background.
Yeasayer debuted their new live setup on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon a few weeks ago, though Reas points out that the band could only fit about a fourth of the entire sculpture on the Fallon stage.
Hunter and company found a great creative partner for the band in Casey Reas, an artist and professor at the University of California Los Angeles who has been writing software to create his visual art for more than a decade.
