    OMG.

    This is a BRILLIANT idea!

    A game changer for me…

    But the emperor has no clothes.

    Whoever is the Vision of the FIRST Internet Symphony is absolutely brilliant.

    “Symphony” is a term from the Ancient Greeks and means “sounding together.”

    Hmmm…

    Also, “Symphony” is a term from the Ancient Greeks and means “social networking” ;-)

    You?ve solved the problem I?ve been struggling with for years ? LIVE Internet music ensemble performance.

    It?s simple? un-bundle time from the equation.

    Duh! :-)

    It?s so simple, yet I always found TRUE real-time to be the barrier.

    There is still a time ?tether? and it?s a constant.  A live conductor (and silent audio track).

    Simple, yet brilliant.

    Ummm?

    One MAJOR friggin flaw, though?

    The composition chosen for this project was composed by Tan Dun.

    The choice is a big mistake compared to choosing Mozart Jupiter Symphony or Beethoven’s 5th (or 9th) as the “FIRST” Internet Symphony (“Eroica” in the sub-title was obviously borrowed from Beethoven’s 3rd).  I suspect you are a brilliant composer, Mr. Dun, but compared to Wolfgang and Ludwig, you suck. :-S

    If it WERE Mozart or Beethoven, I would certainly be tempted to pull out the old bassoon and give it a run. ;-)

    BTW, please visit our new YouTube Video Channel at www.DoublePositive.TV or click on OMG at the top of this post.

    The universe is a funny place. :-)
