Over the years, I had reviewed all these musicians from my critic’s perch in darkened concert halls and underground music clubs. We — and about 600 other people — had come together in cyberspace for “The World Wide Tuning Meditation,” a new twist on an old piece by the composer Pauline Oliveros, who died in 2016. Each of us was a tile in an onscreen mosaic of amateurishly lit humans gazing out from home offices and bedrooms. Organized by Ms. Chase, the International Contemporary Ensemble and the performance artist Ione, Ms. Oliveros’s widow, the exercise will be repeated each Saturday in April. The events are part of Music on the Rebound, an online festival designed to support performers during the coronavirus pandemic.
