Pierce introduced the Lips to Tom Hagerman of DeVotchKa, who offered to write the charts. Since the album’s original string sounds were recorded using synthesizers and samples, they had to come up with entirely new sheet music and orchestral arrangements. Once a date was confirmed, the Lips were excited to come on board since they hadn’t played Red Rocks since their 2011 Dark Side of the Moon performance. “Red Rocks is just one of those classic American venues,” bandleader Wayne Coyne explained in an “People will go there for anything…they’d go there for Bingo Night if they could.” The idea progressed after a conversation between Pierce and a German conductor well known for his work with Damon Albarn and Gorillaz. “I mentioned Scott Booker and the Flaming Lips, and the first thing out of André’s mouth was, ‘We’ve got to do The Soft Bulletin,'” Pierce recalls in an interview with Westword. The idea to collaborate was pitched a few years ago, when CSO’s Vice President Tony Pierce met the Lips long-time manager, Scott Booker, at a music-industry conference in Denver and the two exchanged business cards.
