Naked City plays the more complicated stuff by reading the scores, sometimes
with Zorn acting as playing conductor. When Yamatsuka Eye performs with the
group he gets visual cues from Zorn presumably because he can't read music.
As far as I can tell, Naked City uses none of the hand signal logic from
Locus Solus or the rules/cue card prompting from Cobra or other game pieces,
at least they never have when I've seen them (9 times). I'm curious about how
"Absinthe" was put together, however, and I suspect that this may not have
been written out in the same way; does anyone know?
