Sideband & Carnegie Mellon Exploded Ensemble
PLOrk Sideband is an ever-evolving professional offshoot of the Princeton Laptop Orchestra, made up of internationally renowned composers and performers of experimental music. Through the use of individual hemispherical speakers, Sideband turns each member into a discrete sound source, recovering the acoustic presence of multiple instruments from the normally flattened world of electronic music.
Exploded Ensemble is Carnegie Mellon University’s hybrid music research wing, fusing traditional orchestral performance practice with experimental, electronic, multi-media and non-Western approaches to live music performance.
In this evening-length concert PLOrk Sideband and Exploded Ensemble will jointly present a program of new works composed by the ensemble members.
Cost: Free and open to the public; No tickets required.
