Floating Points 2008: The Princeton Laptop Orchestra, Ben Owen

Tue 10 Jun, 2008, 8pm
Old American Can Factory

The third year of Floating Points Festival (formerly Points in a Circle) explores the versatility of ISSUE Project Room’s Innovative house speaker system, designed by Stephan Moore.

In the hands of these diverse performers and sound artist, this fifteen-channel installation of hemisphere loudspeakers radically changes the concert experience for both performer and audience. Each of the hemispheres radiates sound in all directions, activating the acoustics of this unique concert space. Immersive sonic environments are generated, electronic sounds take on the characteristic intimacy of acoustic instruments, and location is liberated as a musical dimension.
