We’ll also talk about some exciting upcoming events, like concert series and recording projects. If you can’t be in Boston, send us your Skype address. We’ll have a live Skype hookup.

The meeting will take place at Bang & Olufsen’s Newbury Street store, where we will be able to audition material on some very fine equipment. Violist Noralee Walker will also join us to play a work by Hindemith accompanied by me and my Wii-controlled “Fauxharmonic Orchestra.”

So, send mail to info@digitalorchestraleague.com if you’d like to participate.

Unlike the Nintendo conductor game, this system uses acceleration and orientation data to control the Mac’s selection of string sounds in real time. In other words, for example, when I make large gestures, samples of musicians playing loudly are used. In addition to controlling the volume of the sounds, the timbre of particular sounds is determined by dynamically selecting the sounds the musicians originally played.
