One of the truly wonderful things about the Internet is its ability to foster collaboration without regard to traditional notions of “place”. Some of you have probably already seen the YouTube video of the virtual choir singing “Lux Aurumque.” Nearly 200 people separately recored their individual pieces, which were then combined into a single choral piece. I’m sure that some technical wizardry was necessary to clean up and mix the various audio tracks, but I’m not sure that’s any different than what happens in a recording studio. We probably don’t need to see video of the conductor mugging for the camera, but otherwise the result is lovely.
