Laptoporchester: Endliche Automaten

German premiere!

The Laptoporchester Berlin Endliche Automaten will give a concert at PHOENIX Halle Dortmund on 28 August 2009 which will be the German premiere of their composition journey.

In the framework of the cultural management program of the Robert Bosch Foundation the orchestra travelled through Central and South Eastern Europe from the 6 - 30 April 2009. In each city a regional composer developed a new piece especially for the Laptoporchester Berlin. The new composition was played on the next destination of their journey. As more and more pieces were created, the orchestra played increasingly fewer pieces from their own repertoire, until finally the repertoire was completely changed.

The Laptoporchester Berlin was founded in 2003. The orchestra plays, deconstructs and reconstructs pieces from the fields of New Music, electro-acoustic music and electronica – experimental, noise and avant-garde music. The six musicians use their notebooks as instruments. The idea behind Endliche Automaten is to create and maintain an extensive repertoire of electronic pop and electro-acoustic and audio-visual compositions – which can be presented live in changing constellations, just what a traditional ensemble does. The Laptoporchester Berlin are mainly six musicians and a growing number of guests and solo musicians.
