ResoNations Panel Access Grid Video Teleconference :: April 9, 2010; 4:00 - 5:30 pm EDT :: 35 West 4th Street, 6th Floor Conference Room, New York, New York (see additional sites below).

Presented by the Music Technology Program Lecture Series, Steinhardt School, New York University, ResoNations Panel Access Grid Video Teleconference is an international videoconference on the groundbreaking international telematic music concert for peace, ResoNations. Panelists will make presentations on the ResoNations concert and the ongoing project. Performance highlights will be shown. Local and online international audiences will participate in discussion.

ResoNations was an international telematic music concert for peace November 21, 2009 performed by twenty-six renowned musicians in five international locations: United Nations Headquarters in New York, University of California San Diego, The Banff Centre in Alberta, Canada, Queens University Belfast, and Dongguk University in Seoul with support from the Korean Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST).

Telematic music is real-time performance via the internet by musicians in different geographic locations. Four new contemporary music works for peace were performed by the composite ensemble: Hope’s Dream by Mark Dresser and Sarah Weaver, Disparate Bodies by Pedro Rebelo, Rock, Paper, Scissors by Chris Chafe, and Green-colored Harmony by Jun Kim. The performance took place on high-bandwidth internet with JackTrip audio software developed by Chris Chafe and Access Grid video software developed at Argonne National Laboratory. There were audiences in each location and a world-wide webcast.

ResoNations was part of the annual Innovation Talks Symposia held at the United Nations Headquarters New York by World Association of Former United Nations Interns and Fellows (WAFUNIF), a United Nations Peace Messenger. WAFUNIF Arts For Peace and the Permanent Mission of Romania to the United Nations sponsored the event. Arts for Peace has also worked with artists Mark Dresser and Sarah Weaver as a sponsor of Deep Tones for Peace, another recent telematic music project, and looks forward to further opportunities to support the work of the United Nations through telematic music and technology.
