The latency and lag means that rhythm just isn\u2019t simultaneous. But we can still listen to one another and make music together! The online tools are getting better and we\u2019re getting used to working around the limitations of being apart. That\u2019s why Amateur Music Network is partnering with composer,\u00a0bassist, and ensemble leader\u00a0Lisa Mezzacappa to create an Online Music Laboratory, and we\u2019re looking for a core group of musicians to launch it. We\u2019re going to start by focusing on Bach chorales and other music that can be satisfying to play with a looser sense of pulse and more attention to the harmonic unity we can create together, even over the internet.<\/p>\n<p>We are looking for 8 musicians who are interested in joining us to try this out. We\u2019ll meet on six Monday nights, January 11 through February 15. We are going to experiment with various styles of playing, including group improvisation. We want to discover what works and what\u2019s fun, and where we might take this in the future. Participants will be encouraged to suggest repertoire or create pieces for the online ensemble to explore.<\/p>\n<p>Instrumentalists and singers are welcome, and we\u2019ll be working with repertoire that isn\u2019t instrument-specific, so you should be prepared to just be assigned a part when we get together. Everyone should open to a lot of group interaction and experimentation.<\/p>\n\t<h3><strong>Event Logistics<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Each session will start with a tech check-in at 7pm.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Music starts at 7:30.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You must be registered to attend.
