About ResoNations

ResoNations is an international telematic music concert (real-time performance via the internet by musicians in different geographic locations), which features new contemporary music works for peace performed by renowned musicians in five international locations.
The performance will take place on high-bandwidth internet with JackTrip audio software developed by Chris Chafe and Access Grid video software developed at Argonne National Laboratory. The concert will have local audiences and a world-wide webcast.
ResoNations is a part of the Innovation Talks symposium (November 19-20, 2009, held at the United Nations Headquarters in New York City) which is hosted by the World Association of Former United Nations Internes and Fellows (WAFUNIF), a United Nations Non-Government Organization. WAFUNIF worked with artists Sarah Weaver and Mark Dresser as a sponsor of the recent telematic music project Deep Tones for Peace, and is now establishing an ongoing telematic music program through the United Nations.
