LOL Concert of SciFi & Futurisma

You may be alive, but what can you sing?

The 2019 Laptop Orchestra of Louisiana presents a program of science fiction envisioning the future by combining the future of art & technology – from 100 years apart. On the cusp of merging recorded sound and image, the experimental silent films of the 1900s created the iconic sci-fi tropes that we are familiar with today. The rocket countdown, androids, robots, lasers, voyages to the moon, mars, and space all came to light in this era. By employing electronics, acoustic instruments, laptops, and processed voice the LOLs will perform Live Scores to a selection of scenes from classic silent films bringing to life the flickering origins of Science Fiction.
