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.

    As a piece of musical art: Interesting concept, boring results.

    As a way of trolling the European culture congress: utterly brilliant.

    Taking a look through this comments section, it is obvious why RDJ hates most of his fans...

    Don't try to understand RDJ, he see's sounds and lucid dreams every night. He is not like you or I.

    It would be the same as if they were being directed by "physical" sheet music.

    I love how totally bored the musicians are, now reduced to robots being dictated to by a cheap MIDI controller with sellotape labels on it.
