WAAPA's third year composer's ensemble is known as WALO (the Western Australian Laptop Orchestra).
"The West Australian Laptop Orchestra (WALO) is an electroacoustic ensemble, based at The West Australian Academy of Performing Arts, that specialises in presenting new and unique live electronic music. Drawing it’s influence from other successful laptop orchestras from around the world, WALO is interested in forging relationships with arts organisations and live music programs to bring an exciting and diverse range of new ensemble-based electronic music from out of the shadow of academic institutions and into the public eye."
We've been split in to three groups; my group consisting of Ben Christiansen, Leanne Puttick, Jos Chapman, and Zac Corrie. Our piece, Faultline, composed by Jarryd Bird (aka Thaddaeus, The Exile), is a MaxMSP work for five players. We managed to have a smooth run through of the piece this morning, so fingers crossed for seamless network connectivity on the night of the gig!
WALO will be performing at Club Zho 111, held at The Bakery, on Monday September 8th alongside Kynan Tan, a Perth based composer/sound artist and WAAPA graduate.
