PLOrk: Yet more music made with computers.

September 16, 2006 7:43 PM

PLOrkis the Princeton Laptop Orchestra, a group of students each wielding a laptop synthesizing multiple instruments. PLOrk makes recording of concerts and on-air performances available online.

I'd be in love with this if the pieces weren't so abstract.

It still is an embodiment of a dream of mine: a band consisting of performers using purely digital instruments.

Princeton Soundlab is also home to the highly excellent ChucK, a computer music and livecoding language, and the Audicle, an editor for that language. (my chuck tutorial).

I always love this: It's so great the computers allow you to do ANYTHING with music.

OK, from now on could we just stick with pieces in 4/4 and C major with I, IV, and V chords? Everything else bugs me, thanks.
