Brasilia Laptop Orchestra - 10 yEars aLive

Many minds and years went into the creation of 10 yEars aLive, a title that represents the long running duration of the Brasilia Laptop Orchestra or for short BSBLOrk.

From the work collective's web page, this is a very good description for BSBLOrk that needs to be relayed, google translate was used."BSBLOrk - Orquestra de Laptops de Brasília is an experimental interactive algorithmic music collective, inspired by innovations in the format of computational music performance -- initially by the use of individual acousmatic amplification, when playing through multichannel hemispheres, now incorporating intercontinental teleperformance via network live streaming and Artificial Intelligence agents. Since its foundation in 2012, at the 11th edition of UnB's "Tubo de Ensaios" festival, has the proposal to integrate the human body in movement to the production of sounds and images directly derived from it, as a means of carrying out ecosophical works that emphasize respect for the environment, awareness for the human development as freedom and social inclusion."

Over the ten years of material composing years 10 yEars aLive, the following artists are the principal contributors. Conrado Silva,Eduardo Kolody, Ramiro Galas, Victor Valentim, Kiko Barretto, Philip Jones, Elias Melo Filho, Ricardo Borgmann, Victor Hugo Araujo, Joenio Costa, Jackson Mainho, Anesio Azevedo, Biophillick, Bryan Day and Eufrasio Prates. This list of artists follow the track order and seem to be in a chronological order with overlap throughout.

The sounds within 10 yEars aLive push the thresholds of harmony to a place where patterns and chaos are massive tectonic plates under pressure. Holding, beautiful, serene, a slip and the sonic landscape crumbles to form something splendidly new. Even though an earthly metaphor was used as a base description, the aural atmosphere within this composition is most of the time, completely otherworldly. Dreamlike fragments of experiences turned askew in a brilliant sonic kaleidoscope, the complete depth still unexplored til future thought is applied.

Released on Public Eyesore Records in compact disc format. This is catalog number one hundred and fifty for the label. Pretty amazing in thinking about this voluminous body of work and all of the artist involved.
