telematic music for peace
Telemusic mastermind Chris Chafe brought this new project to my attention last week. The same concept-project I worked on over the summer is now flourishing with a huge global consciousness arising as a result. This concert is sponsored by the United Nations, and featured some of today’s most respected creative improvisers. This is truly breakthrough technology being used for all the right reasons – bringing people together to create. Featuring such luminaries as:
Jane Ira Bloom
Oliver Lake
Samir Chatterjee
Mark Dresser
More info from their website:
ResoNations is an international telematic music concert (real-time performance via the internet by musicians in different geographic locations), which features new contemporary music works for peace performed by renowned musicians in five international locations.
The performance will take place on high-bandwidth internet with JackTrip audio software developed by Chris Chafe and Access Grid video software developed at Argonne National Laboratory. The concert will have local audiences and a world-wide webcast.
ResoNations is a part of the Innovation Talks symposium (November 19-20, 2009, held at the United Nations Headquarters in New York City) which is hosted by the World Association of Former United Nations Interns and Fellows (WAFUNIF), a United Nations Non-Government Organization. WAFUNIF worked with artists Sarah Weaver and Mark Dresser as a sponsor of the recent telematic music project Deep Tones for Peace, and is now establishing an ongoing telematic music program through the United Nations.
