<nettime> No harmony |
Thanks for the heads-up on this experiment, John. It puts me in mind of the indelible line in Arlene Hutton’s fine play, As It is in Heaven, about Shaker golden age hierarchs - in this case, a couple of eldresses - coping with an outbreak of ‘gifting' visions among the recent novices: ~ “No harmony, girls - you must sing in unison, otherwise we might as well be Baptists." Could you elaborate on the category ‘low-latency’ technics? It’s new to me, at least. Indietro!

The individual performances were then rendered together to create the final 'performance'. The project is on-going [2]. I thought this was a nice example of a work of a traditional medium being transformed through network technology. Particularly the asynchronous nature of the process is very different from how a physically co-located choir would operate, and the result is not a conventional performance but a recording (hence my previous quote marks). I'd like to see a live performance by such a physically distributed choir using low-latency technology.
