  2. I've seen this piece- at White Cube in London several years ago- it blew me away- the piece of music is "Spem in Alium" by the English Tudor Composer Thomas Tallis (court composer for Henry VIII). The piece is a massive piece in at least 40 seperate parts for chorus. I think each speaker has the sound for only a single voice, so the effect is like a synthetic choir. Wish I could see it again
