Beginning as a series of Sonic Networked Art Performances (SNAP), encompassing free improvisation and real-time composition utilizing a mix of traditional and extended playing techniques with real-time computer processing, the ensemble connected continents via high-quality audio networks over the internet, creating rich and compelling soundscapes.  Recording this soundscape together in a studio within three days is the ensemble's goal for this project.
On the final day, an interested audience is invited to attend a live studio concert and experience a unique event.

The Sonic Arts Ensemble is global network of composers and performers who explore the extension of instruments and modes of performance into new, imaginative realms of action and interaction.  They have an interest in the relationships between the concrete and the imagined, and the ways that the concrete can inform the imagined.

Scott Deal engages new pathways of computer interactivity, networked systems, and electroacoustics.

His recordings have been described as “soaring, shimmering explorations of resplendent mood and incredible scale.

"In the network arts, Deal is an award-winning creator, producer, author and performer. Deal and composer Matthew Burtner were awarded the Internet2 IDEA award for their creation of Auksalaq, a telematic opera described as “an important realization of opera for today’s world."
