The Machine Orchestra

Ajay Kapur & Michael Darling The Machine Orchestra is a networked ensemble of laptop performers inspired by the Princeton and Stanford Laptop Orchestras. In performance, each member of the ensemble uses hemispherical speaker to produce localized sound, while a master server coordinates millisecond-level OSC synchronization between performers. This networked aspect is critical to the inclusion of the heart of the …
