Here are the two previous of his "virtual choir" pieces:

and

I find the implications of this work wonderfully confuzzling
(confounding, confusing?):
I find Eric himself an irritating boor (perhaps it takes one to know
one), not unlike Michael Flatley (aka "the Lord of Dance"). Perhaps all
songwriter/conductors have this self-centered style? Perhaps it comes
with the territory (of performance art requiring many individuals, but
one centerpiece)?
I'd find it (yet) more interesting if there wasn't $100,000 worth of
post-production required to make the piece what it is. I'm sure there
are examples which are more "self-organizing" on the net? As with the
earlier thread on letting humans do what they do best, not trying to
automate everything, maybe I'm wrong.
Or maybe it is best to do it *with* humans (more) in the loop and slowly
find ways to emulate the things humans do by rote more efficiently by
machine, in the process *maybe* abstracting just what it is they are doing?

Granovetter was right about "the strength of weak ties", sorta
started the whole "computational social sciences gig":
