I am sure you’re familiar with Robert Fripp and his “crafty guitarists” project? It’s interesting to contrast Fripp’s approach with that of the Cavaliers drum & bugle corps. Fripp seemed to me obsessed on group uniformity, in that every performer is precisely mimicking the stated goal.
The videos of his “League of Crafty Guitarists” session performances have been deleted by YouTube (due to copyright), but the audio showcases are still there:

Especially hilarious is this guy’s parody of Fripp’s guitar craft efforts:

And I’m a big Robert Fripp fan, too — so don’t get me wrong!

There are many examples of musicians who are obsessed with this kind of precision playing, Fripp being one of ‘em. I chose the Cavaliers performance (probably the best DBC performance ever) because it clearly shows how seemingly random acts by an individual can add up to something much more if seen from a higher vantage point. But the idea can be seen in almost any group activity that I can think of.
I enjoyed the Fripp parody very much! thanks, Greg!
