The Fredösphere

All the world is linking to the amazing Honda commercial.  I have to join them because of the choral content, but also because I want you to know the rehearsal videos (all three) should not be missed.  Note the element of data collection in the creative process:  they recorded the sounds they wanted to imitate.

May I state an opinion?  The impact would much less without the visuals.  The music works only as a partner with the video; most people would be uninterested in it alone.  On the other hand, a choir that wanted to have a lot of fun could produce their own video and perform sound effects to accompany it as part of a live concert.

Meanwhile, About the Composer has found sound files of some truly bizarre Georgian folk music.  Start with Khasanbegura.
