We searched NYC for a variety of subway musicians to unite for a live experiment.
We stationed them at 9 different subway stops with wifi and had them simultaneously connect to composer Ljova. He led them in a performance of "Signal Strength," an original piece he wrote for them.
composed and conducted by LJOVA: ljova.com
directed by CHRIS SHIMOJIMA: chrisshimojima.com
produced by ANITA ANTHONJ
director of photography (Bryant Park) JOHN SEARS: johnsearsmedia.com
