Ravello Records and The Sonic Arts Ensemble present LIVE FROM THE MULTIVERSE, an album leveraging the possibilities of online performance and expanding the boundaries of contemporary music. Musicians from three different continents connect through the internet on low latency, high quality audio networks to perform repertoire ranging from composed, notated scores to freely structured pieces born from masterfully executed ensemble improvisation. With the utilization of extended techniques, singing bowls, and imaginative sound design, the ensemble develops and thrives in an enticing and innovative soundscape.

All performers set up their own recording (or broadcasting) spaces and equipment themselves, acting as their own engineers. These individual feeds were then transmitted to a central hub that was located at the Advanced Computing Center for the Arts and Design (ACCAD) in Columbus, Ohio, USA, and the recordings were made from the central hub.

The exceptions to this hub recording are (1) Into the Multiverse and (3) Rising Tide of Light, where the individual feeds were distributed peer-to peer on Aoo software and recorded on Marc Ainger’s peer connection.
