1. A method of facilitating a social network of a group of performers through an accurate and precise audiovisual process that occurs in a distributed computing environment having remote processing devices linked through a communications network in a streaming audio/video setting, the method comprising:
providing the group of performers with a community within which they share a musical performance; wherein a performer in the group of performers follows a process that includes
obtaining an audiovisual work having an audio portion having a fluctuation in tempos, a video portion having a video performance of a performer displaying combinations of movements of the performer that follow the audio portion, and a dynamic point reference grid having a custom tempo map of the audio portion for selecting a desired portion of the audiovisual work;
selecting a point of reference in the desired portion of the work, the point of reference defined by the dynamic point reference grid;
emulating the performance; and,
point-cycling the desired portion;
wherein,
the custom tempo map is configured to include a mapping of the distance between bars or beats, the distance measured as time; where, the mapping captures the fluctuation in tempos and composes the dynamic point reference grid for an accurate and precise selection of a point of reference for the point-cycling of the desired portion of the work; and,
the emulating of the musical performance occurs in the distributed computing environment having remote processing devices linked through the communications network in the streaming audio/video setting;
and,
displaying a player rating by which the group of performers compare performances in the social network.
