Julie: We're getting better at making these virtual choir videos, but they're still a pale, pale shadow of what our full 100-member choir could do while hearing each other!
Yes, I can imagine. I've done some remote voice work in-studio and it's like having a phantom limb.
I do love voices when they are unleashed and in concert. These virtual choirs mask that energy that is lost with technical make-up. Musical cosmetology, I guess. Or perhaps they (virtual choirs) are a completely different animal. Each voice toiling in isolation. Every voice joined together in virtual reality.
You've posted Eric Whitacre's work before, which I love. The musical world (and the world in general) is moving towards virtuality like moths to a lightbulb, I'm afraid. It will not replace the energy gained and the experience of being in the moment and hearing sounds this beautiful emanating from the body.
I think your engineers do a nice job of replicating the acoustics. I close my eyes...
