The Choral Composer/Conductor Collective apparently can match its considerable musical expertise with a high level of computer nerdishness.  In their last remote choral concert (which they claim was the first such concert like ever), they tried to surmount the latency problems we've all become accustomed to in remote experiences — the different remote inputs don't exactly synch (and each input's sound and image don't synch, either) — by embracing it, performing music that was asynchronous.  This time they're going to bravely attempt to achieve low latency.  Good luck, guys!  One of the pieces is by List bud Brian Mountford.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  If you drink enough Foghorns, you won't care how low C4's latency is:  pour 2 oz. Gin, 1/2 oz. Cocchi Americano, 1/4 oz. Cointreau, and 1-1/2 teaspoons Absinthe into an ice-filled cocktail shaker.  Stir.  Strain into a chilled Martini glass or coupe.  Garnish with a lemon twist.
