「Richard James (Aphex Twin)は複数のMIDIコントローラーやヘッドホンなどを駆使し、48のストリング･セクションと24人の合唱隊をリモートでコントロールするアイデアを思いついた。」と書かれている。そのアイデアが9月開催のEuropean Culture Congressで形となり、実を結んだということだ。

Richard James came up with the idea of controlling a 48 piece string section and a 24 strong choir by remote control, using midi controllers, lots of headphones and some remote visual cues, after being commissioned to write some pieces for the European culture congress in Poland.
There was only one opportunity for a rehearsal to see if the idea worked, it was in the morning, the day of the concert! 
This is the result.
