Many (remote) voices singing

While not in 24/192, I think you’ll agree with me that the final product – ‘Lux Aurumque’ – of composer/conductor Eric Whitacre’s epic choral experiment is stunning, captivating, and just plain cool.

Using the web, Eric recorded 250 performers in 25 countries, each singing a part of the song. Then, in what must of been one heck of a mixing session, he combined the tracks.

Check out his blog to hear more singing and learn more about how it was done.

Enjoy!
