JónsiThe entire "Credo" concert from Lincoln Center's White Lights Festival is now streaming on Q2 here.

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't super excited to realize an excellent orchestrational use of whirly-tubes (7:55). Also, props to Q2 (and Nadia Sirota, and John Schaefer) for a great live broadcast and attendant web-chat that hosted comments from thousands of listeners all over the world (including one from my dad: "listening from Sedona, Arizona, where the vortexes are crying uncle").

When cynicism starts to creep in about music-making, these are the type of events that wipe it away. More please!
