MUSI 2386 - Laptop Orchestra

MUSI2386: Laptop Orchestra is an experimental ensemble focused on developing musical performance interfaces using mostly open source software (PureData) and real-time capable customized operating systems (Ubuntu Linux). Additionally, there is some exploration of music performance software development for devices such as the iPod, iPad and iPhone and musical input hardware hacking for open platforms like the Arduino. Previous experience with music or computer programming is welcome, but not necessary. However, a serious desire to learn to play electronic devices as musical instruments is required.
