This is the sound of slork , the Stanford Laptop Orchestra. All instrumentalists are equipped with a black MacBook and a hemispherical speaker pod made out of Ikea tableware. The brain behind the orchestra is Ge Wang , and if his name sounds familiar that’s because you might have seen it mentioned recently in connection with the superb app Ocarina . Recently highlighted at apple.com, slork makes use of custom software written by Ge Wang: “I wanted to focus on the intersection of music and computer science. So I authored a language with my advisor, Perry Cook, and researchers at Princeton and beyond. We called it ChucK. It’s a programming language completely tailored for sound. It let us quickly synthesize sound and use various controllers in our performances.”
