VIMEO Livestream Concert: The Telematic Circle—Celebrating Free Music performed live over the internet (https://vimeo.com/event/4551097/281fe79260)

In the spirit of a virtual meeting, the Technical Committee Musical Acoustics hosts a telematic concert featuring freely improvised music in the classic and jazz avant-garde tradition. In 2007, we started a Telematic Circle between Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and Stanford University, performing free music weekly between two music seminars led by Pauline Oliveros at RPI and Chris Chafe at Stanford. This project was possible through a new low-latency INET2 internet network, Chafe’s low-latency audio software, Jacktrip, and the adequacy of free music for such collaborations. Over the years, the Telematic Circle expanded to other institutions in the US and other countries. This concert will highlight a three-way connection between Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Stanford University, and Suny Stonybrook, featuring local musicians from all three institutions. The concert can be viewed via a VIMEO Livestream (https://vimeo.com/event/4551097/281fe79260).
