Eric Whitacre: A virtual choir 2,000 voices strong

Eric Whitacre talks about leading a virtual choir of singers from around the world. He talks through the creative challenges of making music powered by YouTube, and unveils the first 2 minutes of his new work, "Sleep," with a video choir of 2,052.

So it doesn't have a synth but 2000 people singing into their computer screens seems pretty electronic to me - using YouTube as a global musical instrument. I would love to hear from the tech to hear how he actually did it - how much was automated, the kind of processing involved. If you liked it check out In Bb another fantastic YouTube collaboration where you get to be the conductor.
