RPI Long term Music Collaboration

Since the Fall of 2006, SoundWIRE has been rehearsing weekly with Pauline Olivero's Tintinnabulate ensemble at RPI. This has been a long term musical collaboration using Jacktrip as the audio streaming software, and iChat for video. We use 8-Channel bidirectional audio at CD quality on each rehearsals.

Tintinnabulate include several acoustic and electronic instruments. Empirical experimentation on best monitoring practices on both sides show that the analog side is an indispensable factor on the quality of the sound and performance.

Cynthia Payne UCSC ensamble joined the weekly rehearsals in the begining of 2007.
