Californian death metal band Nekrogoblikon hacked into their Periscope comments to control the motorised faders on their mixing desk. Fans could instantly effect the mix on a playback of their song 'We Need A Gimmick'.
Want more guitar....DO IT. Want the vocals louder....HELL YEAH! Want less keyboard....WHAT?!! ARE YOU SURE? errrr, OK THEN!

The result? Audio anarchy.
Nekrogoblikon's goblin, John Goblikon, and their vocalist, Scorpion, provided a running commentary over the live stream mix. It turns out that a crowd mix is a bad idea if you want something that sounds good; but a genius idea if you want to have loads of fun with your fans. This was an interactive WIN.
“In the pantheon of the greats there's Leonardo da Vinci, Einstein and now...finally, Nekrogoblikon. We've set the record for mixing. For all time. Forever.” Scorpion, Nekrogoblikon
