The LOLs 2022 – Reality Extended

The LOLs 2022 – Reality Extended

Posted by on Oct 26, 2022

This Halloween, the music crypt is opened and sounds-experimental emanate forth. The Laptop Orchestra of Louisiana experiments with the interface between electronics and music, computers and performance. This Fall it has explored the concept of Extended Reality (XR) – the mixing of virtual and real spaces – hybrid worlds. In many ways music and sound design have existed in the realm of extended reality long before the term existed – the audience listening to music here in the present but transported to otherworldly destinations.

Come take an hour out of All Hallows Eve and join us for a concert of sci-fi sounds and experimental music. The Laptop Orchestra of Louisiana will be performing a series of works that draw music from the ether – a radio static seance, 2-sentence horror stories, a plague of amphibians, screaming amps and more speakers than you could shake a chainsaw at.

Wear your costumes! And expect both tricks and treats.

DMC Theatre
730PM – October 31st
340 E. Parker Blvd

An attempt at visualizing the Fourth Dimension: Take a point, stretch it into a line, curl it into a circle, twist it into a sphere, and punch through the sphere.    – Albert Einstein

The Laptop Orchestra of Louisiana is known for twisting technology into inventive performances. This November they go n-dimensional; from the transition of a single point to 3D space, a tesseract to n-dimensions. The LOLs explore how dimensionality materializes in the design of a musical interface, the composition of a piece of music, the visualization of space and projections of higher dimensions into lower ones.
