Quarantine Sessions Ensemble

• The Coronavirus Crisis changed our lives and we had a long period withoutconcerts as we knew them. In addition to the problem of large audiences, theregulations also made it ‘virtually’ impossible for musicians to get together,to rehearse, or perform. However, many technologies and solutions were alreadyavailable, helping us to find new ways of collaborating and transporting our work to audiences. During thelockdowns and ever since we have been programming, testing, and rehearsing inan online environment between California, Berlin, and Ghent. We presentconcerts that connect musicians from these locations and often with guests fromother places. The sessions are broadcast live with audio and video feeds fromeach site.

• 8 musicians in different location (California, Sweden, Belgium, Germany, New York) performed an hour long improvisation together connected through JackTrip. The performance was followed by a one hour panel discussion on the use of network technology for live performance
