I don’t care how many times you’ve heard the theme song to “Friends”, it never gets any easier to do “the clap”-that signature sound at the beginning that’s stumped many a frustrated listener.  Where did the clap come from?

I was very happy to work on this collaboration with James, Nicky and Sean of the Unlikely Allies. Bringing in an outside performer, Kirin McCrory, into the mix and having all 3 members on screen at the same time meant a lot of work building the dynamic of a rapid fire 4 person discussion, with most of them talking all at once.
