its a basically bunch of spanish guys making weird ambient sound scape stuff on their computers. very trippy.Among the members of this laptop orchestra are lecturers and students at Catalonia's Higher School of Music, and researchers from the Music Technology Group at Pompeu Fabra University, and its repertoire essentially consists of reinterpretations of classics of electro-acoustic music. A meeting point for sonic researchers, digital luthiers, performers and composers, to investigate new musical control interfaces and new paradigms for networked performance.
i heard them on a bbc broadcast from sonar 2011 i think. although what they played then was more melodic.
i cant embed these for some reason but the first video shows some of their creative process which is pretty fascinating:
