Laptop Ensembles

• Laptop Ensembles are a growing phenomenon (some
  notable orchestras already exist in Princeton,
  Moscow, Tokyo, Berlin or Stanford).
• Traditional instruments are replaced by laptop
  computers or meta-instruments (laptop
  complemented with speakers, actuators, sensors
  and controllers).
• The members are not only performers but sound
  designers, researchers and composers as well, in
  a collaborative, multi-role environment.
• The major challenges a laptop ensemble must face
  come primarily from the lack of gestuality.

The ESMUC Laptop Orchestra

• An open collective, currently formed by
• Students and teachers from the ESMUC Sonology
  Department
• Researchers at the Music Technology Group (UPF
  University)
• Anyone willing to contribute to the project

• Their performances are halfway between a demo
  concert and a sonic installation, and deeply
  focused on technical challenges, like
• Real-time audiovideo manipulation with custom
  interfaces
• Wireless networked laptops playing live-coded
  streams in sync

The Esmuc Laptop Orchestra is open to
collaborations for live, networked performances
and to perform commissioned compositions.
