Phase I Proof of Concept Project
In 2019, The Global Z Recording Project conducted its Phase I Proof of Concept Project. The Project brought together 34 student musicians from different locales across Maryland and Colorado, and created an original musical recording using virtual audio production, communication and collaboration technologies. Musicians ranged in age from middle school, to graduate students. Participants were at distances from 60-1700 miles from their recording space to the lead audio engineer. This project served as the foundation for the work we currently do.
