Partita for Eight Voices [0] is one of the most remarkable choral pieces I've ever heard. Got a chance to hear it performed live by Roomful of Teeth and was mesmerized the entire time.

Yes. There's a reason she won a Pulitzer Prize for it.

I'm proud to be longtime colleagues and friends with several of these singers. They are truly amazing artists.

BTW, if you are in the Bay Area, you can hear several of these singers live each summer at the Carmel Bach Festival.

Didn't know they had anything since their debut album of 2012. Will have to catch up.

When I read the headline I thought someone finally made AI singers that sounded like people.

Meh. Just because you _can_ doesn't mean that you _should_. I'll stick to Manhattan Transfer.

Zing. But at least my comment was not filled with parallel glissandos.
