Professional musicians try out how to make music using new technologies.
(Informationen auf deutsch unter http://digiensemble.de/ombra)
This video shows a performance of the famous aria "Ombra Mai Fu" in an experimental version accompanied on smartphones and tablets. The musicians´s aim is to try out how to make joint music on smartphones.
The sound you hear is all played live by the musicians and their smartphones. In this case we are playing on the app-instrument "thumbjam" for iPod touch and iPad. [iTunes link] By lifting and lowering the devices tone and volume can be modulated. In this way an expressive play can arise.
However, the DigiEnsemble Berlin plays more than classical music, its musicians experiment with a wide range of genres, play
heavy metal, avantgarde or compose own pieces.

Literally "Largo by Handel" is a praise to the shade of a plane tree.
Lyrics:
Ombra mai fu
di vegetabile cara ed amabile, soave piu.
Ombra mai fu,
di vegetabile, cara ed amabile, soave piu,
cara ed amabile, ombra mai fu
di vegetabile, cara ed amabile,
soave piu, soave piu
A shade there never was,
of any plant,
dearer and more lovely,
or more sweet.
