akirlu had told me about offline: A choir of 185 voices, assembled virtually. The piece is "Lux Aurumque," by composer/conductor Eric Whitacre.

This reminds me in sound quite a bit of when we were at the Tacoma Museum of Art and saw an installation of The Forty Part Motet by Janet Cardiff. (Here's a listing at Tate Liverpool, with a picture showing an installation very similar to what we saw.) For all that Whitacre's piece sounds fine, and watching it is fun, there was something special in being able to go from speaker to speaker in the Cardiff installation, and hear the singers individually.
