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. ;-)

The universe is a funny place. :-)
