Montreal Genetic Laptop Orchestra LIVE (2006)

Would you like to try our new video/audio player ? (beta!)

For three intense days fifteen sound artists/researchers from all corners of the Montreal island came together and, under the direction of Kim Cascone, proceeded to mutate+generate artifacts of genetic processes. Using the framework of a genetic algorithm, each member's contribution interacted within this living computation system, producing a sonic pool that is the result of artificial life processes, as directed by each person's unique aesthetic choices. This emergent content - with the history, memory, choice of each member and of the system itself embedded in each sound - had then been weaved into a sonic tapestry by all members of the group for this special performance. And thus was born the Montreal Genetic Laptop Orchestra!

This sGA Workshop has been hosted at the New Music Building of the Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Music Media and Technology (CIRMMT), Schulich School of Music, McGill University, Montreal, Quebec, Canada, from Thursday, June 29th to Saturday, July 1st 2006.

The evening performance took place at the Society for Arts and Technology [SAT], Montreal, Quebec, Canada, on Sunday, July 2nd, 2006.

Pendant trois journées intensives, des artistes et chercheurs en son de tous horizons montréalais ont, sous la direction de Kim Cascone, généré et fait muter des artifices sonores à partir de procédés génétiques. Dans le cadre de l'utilisation d'algorithmes génétiques, la contribution de chaque participant a interagi avec les autres au sein d'un organisme computationnel, milieu de culture sonore résultant de processus de vie artificielle, orienté par les choix esthétiques propres à chacun. Le contenu émergeant de l'histoire, de la mémoire et des choix de chaque personne et du système lui-même, imbriqué dans chaque son fut tissé en une tapisserie sonore par tous les membres du groupe de cette performance particulière. Ainsi naquit l'orchestre génétique d'ordinateurs portables de Montréal...
