The Stanford Mobile Phone Orchestra (MoPhO) is a new
repertoire-based ensemble using mobile phones (e.g., iPhones) as the
primary musical instrument. Far beyond ring-tones, MoPhO's interactive
musical works take advantage of the unique technological capabilities of
today's hardware, transforming multi-touch screens, built-in
accelerometers, built-in microphones, GPS, data networks, and computation
into powerful and yet mobile chamber meta-instruments.
MoPhO was
instantiated in 2007 at CCRMA, Stanford University, by
faculty member Ge Wang,
Deutsche Telekom senior research scientist Georg
Essl, and visiting CCRMA researcher Henri Penttinen, with
CCRMA Artistic Coordinator Chryssie Nanou, 2007-2008
MA/MST students, and generous support from Nokia. MoPhO performed its
first public concert in January 2008.
