Ethernet Orchestra - a radio feature by Mirko Heinemann

Ethernet Orchestra is a virtual band, founded by the trumpet-player and social scientist Roger Mills. The musicians live all over the world, in Sydney, New York, Montreal, Braunschweig (Germany) or Sheffield (England). They are playing together using the E-jamming-tool that allows to stream the music in real time using the internet as medium. Their network performances are taking place in front of an audience, while the other musicians are participating sitting in their studio somewhere else in the world. They usually play improvised sessions.
