Bob CollinsIf you create a symphony orchestra out of hundreds of individual videos of people playing their notes by themselves somewhere else, is it really an orchestra?
YouTube asked people — amateurs and professionals — to send in videos of themselves playing a piece composed by Tan Dun. Then they created a mashup of all the submissions.
There actually is an orchestra, however. The winners are appearing tonight at Carnegie Hall.
Could this method of creating art somehow bypass the regional orchestra?
