There are a number of projects aimed at delivering low-latency audio over the internet, I think some were started or used by musicians trying to be able to play

  ahh yeah, like this one: https://ccrma.stanford.edu/docs/common/JackTrip.html https://ccrma.stanford.edu/docs/common/JackTrip.html i wonder how well it works... also, since we're going down memory lane, who remembers the album isdn by the future sound of london? the name comes from the fact that they used hardware that was designed for musicians to jam over isdn digital calls (or more likely high latency high quality calls for audio distribution, given the state of audio codecs at the time), to produce the album across a large geographical area, if i remember right..

  The music thing is just tracking. You record a track, then someone else downloads it and records themselves on top of that track, then someone else downloads that… repeat for a whole choir if so desired. These sessions could be separated by hours or weeks. In the studio world they often are. The innovation here was to accelerate this process and make it happen with delays of hundreds of milliseconds to several seconds, instead. There’s no cheating the physics or the underlying network. You can’t interact with the “inner” musicians as the data only flows one way.
