Two days to LATENCY CANONS

Rehearsals for my new trans-Atlantic work LATENCY CANONS are shaping up, with its premiere this Friday at Carnegie’s Zankel Hall.  American Composers Orchestra and conductor George Manahan in various places in New York, conductor Dane Lam and the Gildas Quartet in Manchester, UK, all playing together in beautiful latency.  It’s an experimental new work that makes use of basic web conferencing software (Google Hangouts) to make music together.  It’s brilliant technology, but everyone who’s tried it for music knows there’s delays, freezes, instability, and a kind of weird sound.  But in LATENCY CANONS, those “weaknesses” are what will make the piece interesting and beautiful.
