AB - <p>"The Princeton Laptop Orchestra (PLOrk) is a newly established ensemble of computer-based musical meta-instruments. <em>The Telephone Game: Oil/Water/Ether</em> is an exploration of a real-time collaborative composition local network. All of the performers have identical performance / composition programs -- a custom flexible step-sequencer -- that invite play with rhythmic cycles of various lengths and timbres. The real fun starts, however, when the players begin spying on their neighbors, secretly, via the network, and stealing their ideas with the click of the mouse. Unplanned structures begin to emerge, like oil on water, as riffs propagate and evolve, sometimes returning unrecognizable to their creators." -- from <em>Turbulence</em></p>
