A Virtual Choir

A Grammy award-winning composer builds the world's first ever virtual choir.
- 1It all started with this one young girl who sent me this video...
- 2...of herself singing one of my choral pieces.
- 3And I was struck so hard by the beauty, the intimacy of it, the sweetness of it.
- 4And I thought, well, it would be amazing if we can get a hundred people to do this...
- 5...and cut it altogether and make a virtual choir.
- 6So, I then went into a studio and I conducted in total silence.
- 7I can only hear it in my head, and I loaded all of that up to YouTube,...
- 8...and I sent out a call to singers across the world,...
- 9...and the response was totally overwhelming.
- 10We had 185 singers from 12 different countries.
- 11It was all about connecting and about somehow connecting...
- 12...with these people over the world and these individuals, alone, together.
- 13For me, singing together and making music together...
- 14...is a fundamental human experience.
- 15And I love the idea that technology can bring people together...
- 16...from all over the world and still sort of participate...
- 17...in this transcending experience
