Concordia Music Department

John Molson School of Business

1450 Guy St., 8th floor, room 245

Also webcast (see below)

Free admission!

This Thursday at 7 PM, come join Concordia Laptop Orchestra (CLOrk) for a casual evening concert with some excellent pieces by Michaël Bresse, Joe Browne, Michael Palumbo, and Ryan White, plus a closing CLOrk beat-jam.

Each piece utilizes the laptop orchestra medium in a very different manner:

In Michaël Bresses’s piece, the laptop orchestra will explore texture and space under his conduction.

In Joe Browne’s piece, bass trombonist Felix Del Tredici will interact as soloist with the laptop orchestra and with snippets of his own live sounds processed and spatialized in 8 channels.

In Michael Palumbo’s piece only one computer will play a sound, but 20 people will shape and transform it.

Ryan White’s meditative piece with Christian Brun del Re (drums) will utilize the laptop orchestra as a glitch percussion ensemble.

CLOrk’s beat jam is like… Mouse on Mars meets Autechre meets Tam Tams Montreal.

The show will be webcast (audio) at
