 Byrne says that the point of the project was to allow people to experience art first hand, by creating music with the organ, rather than simply looking at it.In April 2008, Byrne took part in the Paul Simon retrospective concert series at BAM performing "You Can Call Me Al" and "I Know What I Know" from Simon's "Graceland" album.In 2008, Byrne collaborated with the Brighton Port Authority, composing the music and singing the lyrics for "Toe Jam".
