I emailed them. I don't know. they may be doing what we are doing.

What if we tried a proof of concept.

• let's pick a recording, like maybe yugen himen from yiddish NY
• you sing it and record yourself while listening to it in a headphone
• send me the recording of you then I sing it and record it while listening to you
• then I/we fuck around with audacity and see if I can sych them up
• then I/we synch up the videos based on timestamps from audacity

if that works we try stage 2:

• we get Peri or Jenny or Linda to do the same thing for other voices
• then I/we fuck around with audacity and see if I can synch them up
• then I/we synch up the videos based on timestamps from audacity

If we could develop some kind of process for learning new music, I think I would stay involved. Maybe:

• Derek introduces a new song and we learn pronunciation, rhythm, melody and our parts while muted.
• Section leaders follow up with recordings we can have in our headphones while we sing, eventually recording ourselves.
• We listen to each other and talk about it.
• Mini's or section leaders do the same process and create recordings of all 4 voices
• We start to sing with the other voices, eventually recording ourselves again
