The Applesauce Modular Mark V Eurorack format modular synth has mutated to Mark VI with some new modules, topological changes and new or renovated workflows. As before the Applesauce will bring in some friends, from the original "El Dinosaurio" 40 year old monster to the tiny Kastle I got as a birthday present. All of the sounds are created in realtime, piped through computers and SooperLoopy, and spatialized in 3D using the surround system in our Stage concert hall.

The Stanford Laptop Orchestra (SLOrk) presents the first-ever "laptopera". The Furies: A Laptopera is a retelling of the Greek tragedy Electra. Blending a number of versions of the Electra story including works by Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides, and Jean Paul Sartre, this retelling explores central questions regarding how communities escape from cycles of violence, the role of guilt and shame in community identity, personal responsibility, how justice interfaces with cycles of violence, and redemption. The artistic medium of the laptop orchestra both serves to recast the traditional instrumental role in a new kind of operatic medium (the “laptopera”) that reimagines the potential of instrument building to support dramatic elements and character relationships—while simultaneously positing critical questions about technology in our lives presently, both in its promise to help us flourish and in its perils to perpetuate and amplify the existing cycles of violence in our world today.FREE and Open to the Public | In-person + Livestream
