sounds of voices singing 'a capella' in greek, produced by instructions
sent by the virtual audience during the play. two loudspeakers producing
this souds, pointing backwards (so the sound is reflected on the back of
the stage), with quite a lot of reverb.
this sum of voices will sound like a chorus, the 'net' part being: a) each
voice is 'triggered' by someone over the net; b) most of this voices will
be processed to have a 'realAudio' sound... the sound format most used in
the net.
the choros sings all through the piece (but it doesn't sing too much). this
will not be a continuous stream of sound but more like 'islands' of sound
(discrete notes, phrases and 'clusters' of voices), since we have no
control over _when_ the spectator makes a sound.
this last idea should be discussed, since there's a probability that the
choros will interfere with the (real and virtual) actors' voices. i don't
think they will, being scattered and 'far', but it's still my opinion here.
another choice is to make the choror sing only between episodes or when
there's no voice spealing (ie: in the beggining of the calypso episode).
what i don't like of this idea is that the interplay between virtual
audience and stage gets somehow lost.
