L2Ork -- World's First Linux Laptop Orchestra (http://l2ork.music.vt.edu/ ) will be performing a special concert on April 30th (http://disis.music.vt.edu/main/events/120430.html). As a partner with L2Ork for this concert, we are announcing this opportunity to Kids' Tech University students, their siblings, friends, and parents. Imagine an orchestra where performers instead of playing traditional instruments perform using networked laptops, wiimotes, nunchuks, and hemispherical speakers fashioned out of IKEA wooden salad bowls. While this may sound like a truly odd combination, laptop's ability to fulfill many different roles has enabled us to design an entirely new kind of an ensemble as well as to explore novel ways on how to combine Arts, Sciences, and Education. The program will also feature performances by guest artists Jillian Harris, Benjamin Knapp, and Gascia Ouzounian, as well as DISIS students.
If you were ever curious about how a L2Ork Taiji choreography might mix with contemporary structured dance improvisation, or how audience's emotional response might shape interactive music performance, or simply to mess with Kinect installation to make some wicked sounds, you will not want to miss this exciting evening of experimental computer music.
Admission Free
