As I entered the Zoom session last Saturday, I recognized some faces. The flutist Claire Chase. The pianist Conrad Tao. The violinist Carla Kihlstedt. The vocalist Gelsey Bell. Over the years, I had reviewed all these musicians from my critic’s perch in darkened concert halls and underground music clubs.
But this time I was joining them.
We — and about 600 other people — had come together in cyberspace for “The World Wide Tuning Meditation,” a new twist on an old piece by the composer Pauline Oliveros, who died in 2016. Each of us was a tile in an onscreen mosaic of amateurishly lit humans gazing out from home offices and bedrooms. The chat window flashed greetings from around the globe: Madrid, Sydney, Hawaii. Then we began.
