The Laptop Orchestra of Louisiana explores the interface between electronics and music, computers and performance. This concert is a collection of structured compositions and improvisations exploring sound objects through group performance. The ensemble is performing Electroacoustic Improvisation (EAI) through the development of their own Instrumentariums – with objects and sounds that can contribute to a unique group performance. In addition to physical artifacts the LOLs have created hands-on electronics and perform live through circuit bending.
In improvisation, the ability to listen to the sound of the room, the environment, and the individual sounds of members in the ensemble is key. To hone these skills for EAI, we employ Deep Listening, a practice developed and taught by electronic music luminary Pauline Oliveros. We invite you to join us, focusing inward towards the incidental and electronic sounds of the ecosystems we inhabit, listening deeply to this experimental world of sound.
