UAF Internet2 Projects...

I read an article on an Internet2 concert that happened almost a year ago:

Unfortunately, I have not been lucky enough to find a posting of part of the concert, but it seems really cool. I was excited to see that UAF (University of Alaska-Fairbanks) was very invovled in I2 work because I was just there performing in the Summer Arts Festival last summer! Alaska is beautiful and everyone should go.

But on to the article:

For this concert, the music was played in Miami, the acrobat/dancer performed in LA, and the audience and composer of the piece was in Fairbanks. Additionally, the performance concluded with the premiere of a piece for two percussionists, one in Fairbanks and one in San Diego, in a piece written specifically for an I2 collaboration. Amazing! Up until this point, I had never considered this aspect of I2...the extension of music and technology to accommodate this kind of collaboration is overwhelming, and I sure wish there was a video of it posted somewhere. It is incredible to me to think of it-they must have established some kind of regular I2 connection for rehearsals, also. And as a percussion piece, I cannot help but think that there was probably already a significant amount of equiptment involved in the piece, even without the introduction of I2 and its equiptment demands. Finally, I wonder about the issue of latency in this performance and how much of a problem it was, or if latency was written into the composition. Was there any unison playing? Did the score look any different?

If anyone finds any more info about this concert, I would sure love to see it!
