To celebrate Terry Riley's 88th birthday, ContaQt and MIT Sounding presented a global telematic event that resonated – literally - worldwide. At the stroke of midnight EDT on June 24th, 2023, a diverse community of 88 individuals, spread across 60 locations in 23 countries and 6 continents came together online to play music with one another, live and in real-time. With no pre-recorded material, no click tracks, no safety nets or contingency plans, together they performed Poppy@88, a collective composition arranged by Evan Ziporyn, paying homage to Riley’s iconic 1967 piece Poppy Nogood & The Phantom Band.
