Project collected 2052 self-made recordings of people performing the same song and then recombined these efforts into one collaborative work of art freely available on YouTube.

Live Looping with Ableton and Xbox Kinect
Chris Vik's amazing live performance at Microsoft's REMIX11 conference is build on his Kinect/Ableton/Max setup:
• Ableton Live
• NI Massive
• Max/MSP (making useful MIDI data out of the hand coordinates from OSCeleton)
• Behringer FCB1010 (controlling Ableton, ie. looping, switching the Kinect’s instrument etc)
The Kinect was setup using OpenNI, PrimeSense NITE and OSCeleton.
Enjoy the video!
