Machine Orchestra

This ensemble explores a musical paradigm where each musician has a Laptop controlling sound and media in an interactive manner. The aesthetic of each computer having its own sound source (multi-channel speaker arrays) will lead way to a new paradigm for music computing on stage. Participants will write software, build interactive controllers, control robotic systems, visual graphics, and perform live, in a networked system. This ensemble will work cohesively with other Music Technology courses being offered simultaneously.
