Computer Orchestra is an interactive installation consisting of multiple computers.

Close to a configuration of a classical orchestra, it proposes a new approach to music by allowing the user to conduct his/her own orchestra.

Movements of his/her hands are recognized accurately with a Kinect motion controller connected to a central computer. It will then give instructions to a multitude of musician screens. Screen-musicians then not only send sounds back to the conductor but also produce visual feedback.

The installation was created in collaboration with Simon de Diesbach and Jonas Lacôte during a workshop given at Ecal by Andreas Gysin on music and networks.

Since then, the project evolved multiples times with other collaborators like Mathieu Minguet.

Music sets have been created by Brian Bendahan/ShiverLand Productions and Gwenaël Magnenat/Isolated Lines.
