Eric Whitacre's Virtual Choir 2.0, 'Sleep' from Eric Whitacre on Vimeo.
Last year, composer Eric Whitacre led a virtual choir comprised of 185 singers from around the world in a piece he composed called "Lux Aurumque". Each member records themselves singing their respective part while Eric conducts them to a piano track, and then they upload the video to YouTube. [To see the actual video they audition/sing to click here.] Also, you've got to check out his session on TED Talks. In it, Eric takes us through the creative challenges and process he went through in composing music powered by YouTube. Above is a video of his newest work entitled "Sleep"-- boasting a video choir of 2,052 people from 58 countries across the globe.
"Human beings will go to any lengths necessary to find and connect with each other." - Eric Whitacre-Frey
