One note is played by 128 musicians to create 'Music Pieces' by Fallon London. The website walkmanproject.com also invites people to submit their notes to be mixed by visitors to the site.
“Technically, this has been one of the biggest challenges of my career. Not only were we experimenting with a musical style that has never before been attempted, we also had to make sure it worked as a visual performance. That meant overseeing 128 musicians playing everything from drums and pianos to kalimbas and electric guitars, which in turn meant we had to come up with a new technique for recording them. On top of that Sony’s commitment to ‘not faking it’ meant that we then had to film the whole sequence in one take. The end result justifies the means though!” Said director Nick Gordon.
