Neuburg and Sideband will each bring their individual repertoires
that combine elements of live electronics, acoustic performance, and
innovative controllers. They will also share the stage for Dan
Trueman’s “Clapping Machine Music Variations” and a new vocal ensemble
& laptops piece by Neuburg specifically created for this
collaboration.

Born of the Princeton Laptop Orchestra (PLOrk), SIDEBAND first came
together as an ensemble for their Carnegie Hall premiere with the
American Composers Orchestra and their collaborative concert at The
Kitchen with So Percussion and Matmos. Using custom made hemispherical
speakers and a fleet of laptops, Sideband turns each member of its
ensemble in to an island of sound, returning a sense of acoustics and
space to the normally flat world of electronic music.
Sideband's parent ensemble the Princeton Laptop Orchestra (PLOrk) --
the first ensemble of its size and kind -- has inspired the formation
of laptop orchestras across the world, from Oslo to Dublin, Bangkok,
Hong Kong and Stanford. PLOrk has been covered by the New York Times,
Wired Magazine, NPR, The Guardian (UK), and many others. In 2008,
PLOrk was awarded a major grant from the MacArthur Foundation.

venues across the world as Other Minds, Bang on a Can, the Berlin
