The group consisted of musicians from around the globe who, using special software, collaborated to compose, perform and record for the first time ever, entirely over the internet. As well as producing a recording, the group played live in San Francisco, Paris, Oslo and London. As well as the regular members, guests such Peter Gabriel, Mat Black (Ninja Cut), Todd Rundgren and Tricky performed and recorded with the group.
