Musical outcomes in the virtual world are determined by the ensemble\u2019s actions in the physical world. Part of the ensemble manipulates physical objects representing sounds while the other part triggers the sound objects by generating waves with hand gestures. \u0026nbsp;In this piece, both parts of the ensemble explore the degree to which their contributions are both static and dynamic, and how combining the two elements finally results in the ensemble arriving at its full expressive potential.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ELoic\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAkito Van Troyer, Jason Freeman\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003Ewith performers:\u0026nbsp;Aaron Albin, Akito van Troyer, Andrew Colella, Avinash Sastry, Oliver Jan, and Sertan Senturk\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe Laptop orchestra live coding (Lolc) system uses real-time music scripting software to connect \u0026nbsp;a group of musicians who can collaborate and improvise musically on the fly.
