This is a great initiative, but man, it really brings home the fact that we are truly in danger of losing so many cultural things that matter. It's truly heartbreaking. I suppose each of us now have to choose what to support. And now that I think about it, I'm going to email the ED of my local orchestra, hpo.org, and suggest they copy this initiative!

I guess it's nice for people who like electronic music. The Berlin scene is known for having some of the highest quality clubs and performances in the world.
If you were looking for other genres then I apologize. It's only going to be electronic music of some form.
Not my genre (prog rock), but I'm enjoying it. Unfortunately I could get only a glimpse at the previous band, however the Sorry Entertainer DJing now seems quite a talented artist.
Big thumbs up for the initiative!
The guys on it right now are rocking out but are not standing 6ft away from each other! :)

Excellent link- thank you for posting this- totally uplifted my spirits on a mentally rough day.
edit: Here's the band's youtube page and their about us blurb:

Sadly, many Berlin clubs were close to closing even prior to C19. Griessmuehle, one of the clubs hosting this event, was facing imminent closure as late as January. Hopefully this scene will thrive in the post-pandemic world of reinvigorated rent prices.
What are the chances we can develop a way to stream good quality audio back and forth at acceptable latency (a few ms max) to make possible for bands to play live, each member from different locations? It would probably involve using dedicated connections plus axing a lot of security infrastructures to reduce latency, and make the remaining predictable.
Sadly latency makes this almost impossible. However, the guy who made Winamp came up with an interesting solution to this: https://www.cockos.com/ninjam/
The idea is, everyone's playing is delayed by one measure, so they are playing along with people from the past, while everyone else is playing along with a past version of them. Kind of crazy.
On my current connection, the first hop is 20ms, so it's hopeless.
Generally speaking though, you'd need wired connections, good routing, and excess bandwidth, since you'd want to forgo compression, since it's less predictable and adds delay.
So, what if we had client that would "account" for that delay and perform correction measures when mixing the audio streams? Net gaming has kind of solved it, of course for lower bandwidth streaming, but I feel that bandwidth is not the issue here .

There's a drum kit in the background if that helps :P
it's a nice idea anyway

Opened tab, everythings slows down instantly, then black screen.
Brand new 32gb ryzen 3700 build that's otherwise stable (memtest, games etc)
That's entirely missing the point thought. This page took down a 8 core 32gb machine but seems to work fine on a 1 core notebook.
Something is very fkd here

Here’s my all-time favorite set, at least the first 10 minutes: https://soundcloud.com/britta-1/britta-bnders-bachstelzen-fu...

There's also a more ambitious project called Lola.

Since I'm not able to play with my band atm due to corona, I'll see if mumble has acceptable performance.
