Greetings all,
I wanted to share with you my latest Linux-based and Linuxaudio.org-related
project that has been sucking up most of my time over the past year or so to
the point it seemed as if I have disappeared off the face of the Earth.
Needless to mention it continues to alter my sleeping/eating patterns with
unprecedented aptitude and with no end in sight ;-).

It would be real nice if you could say in a few sentences what it is.
The about page on the website reads more like a personal history than
anything else, and I haven't found anything that tells me what l2ork or
disis is.

Here's the problem: The videos are essentially about speakers, which are

What I'm interested in (and I assume others on this list, too) is, what
applications are used to generate the instrument sounds in Linux? Are
these existing applications? Samplers? Synths? Or have you come up with

The "What is L2ork?" link on their website has some more explanation.
The most succinct explanation is in their faq:

What is L2Ork?
L2Ork stands for Virginia Tech DISIS Linux Laptop Orchestra, World’s
first orchestra of its kind built on Linux.

Though I agree that to those who've never heard of a laptop orchestra,
that may not be so illuminating. For that, the PLOrk (Princeton
Laptop Orchestra) site (http://plork.cs.princeton.edu/bio.html) has a
bit more of an explanation. Basically, the idea is to develop the
technologies (hardware + software), skills, repertoire, etc to enable
an ensemble of laptops/players to perform together, coordinating and
interacting with each other with both networking tech and
musician-type skills.
For generating sound, PLOrk (the first laptop orchestra) i believe
mainly uses ChucK (Ge Wang developed ChucK with Perry Cook at the
Princeton Sound Lab, the same group that started PLOrk). I saw
somewhere on the L2Ork site that they are starting out by using Pd.
It would be interesting to see more behind-the-scenes info on the
whole setup.
Basically the reason that there's all the stuff about hardware and
also linux is just that they are doing both -- setting up a bunch of
computers with linux audio tuned to their needs, and building a bunch
of hardware to go with it (e.g. the special speakers (each computer
has its own speaker unit).

I agree that parts of the site are incomplete, mainly because the site is
still growing (just as we are through our maiden L2Ork voyage that began
this fall), so some confusion is naturally warranted. That said, Alex has
described it very well.
L2Ork basically is a laptop orchestra that uses Linux rather than Mac
platform (as is the case with PLOrk and SLOrk), and as such is as far as I
know World's first laptop orchestra using Linux.
Since we are still in early stages of development, a lot of things are up in
the air. As of right now what I can divulge about the project is following:
HARDWARE:
Apart from homebrew speakers, we are using MSI Wind netbooks, wiimotes and
nunchuk as main sources of input (in addition to obviously keyboard and
mousepad), UA-1G soundcards (basically rebranded UA-1EXs under
Cakewalk-Edirol brand).
The speakers have built-in preamps and allow easy exchange of discrete
6-channel and mono setup using two different types of cables (one is 6-pin
XLR to 6 mono TSs, the other is 6-ping XLR to RCA). We currently do not use
balanced audio feeds as each system is self-enclosed and requires minimal
cable lengths. As a result, we've encountered no ground loop issues and/or
similar major degradations in audio fidelity. Speakers have theoretical
range of 50Hz-30KHz. That said, 50Hz sounds rather weak so we also
supplement our setup with subs. Theoretical peak amp power of the three
embedded amps is 15 Watts per channel, while each speaker cone peak amp
power is 25 Watts. We've retrofitted amps to improve sound fidelity (based
on online docs for the Dayton DTA-1 class amps). For more info on this one
please see online videos. Regarding the actual loudness, suffice to say to
run these at maximum possible strength without distortion for prolonged
periods of time will undoubtedly result in hearing loss.
SOFTWARE:
We use modified version of Ubuntu 9.04. Rather than issuing tons of various
scripts/patches, we maintain an in-house disk image of the entire HD. This
thing should be available soon for download for those who wish to burn their
bandwidth :-). This is mainly because we don't have enough man hours to
actually build user-friendly patch system for the amounts of updates we
issue on a weekly basis. At some point we may opt for a better way of
packaging these.
Main audio platform for the time being is a modified version of Pd. Some of
the changes to Pd have been already shared with the Pd community, others
will become available once we work out the kinks.
ART:
Currently, most of our efforts revolve around harnessing the power of hand
gestures through wiimotes and nunchuk, in conjunction with keyboard and
mousepad. Likewise, we are actively exploring ways of interconnecting the
ensemble (e.g. imagine one performer generating a note and by doing so also
altering someone else's instrument properties, etc.) through as set of
custom-built monitoring tools (using Pd). I understand that this does not
tell you a lot about art and this is mainly because we are still in the
process of learning and discovering... I'll gladly share more as we reach
new milestones.
MISCELLANEA
We will try to post more video footage as we find time to do so. Right now
our priority is on the development/production/performance. That said, I am
hoping to post more in the coming weeks. As of right now, footage mainly
focuses on the toughest piece of the puzzle--the speakers. Down the road, we
will provide more details on other, more straightforward aspects as well.
So much for now. Thanks all for your replies. These are all very good
comments that will help us greatly improve the site content, particularly
FAQ section.
Best wishes,
Ico

I'm looking forward to watching some video of this in action (maybe I
missed some among all the instructables).
Regards.
Many thanks Carlos (and everyone else for that matter!) on your comments feedback. One of the projects on my plate for the
coming week is to
revisit
the
site and rework the formatting to address feedback we've gotten so far,
namely
partitioning about page into about and history components.
Speaking of L2Ork in action, last week at TEDxMidAtlantic I just showed
the
first public footage of a recent rehearsal. We
should be posting this
video
hopefully soon on YouTube. In the meantime,
please feel free to go to
tedxmidatlantic.com and check it out there.
Best wishes,
Ico

I can't watch the video here:
http://tedxmidatlantic.com/live/
Something wrong with embedded flash (always flash...) in that website
(usually I don't have problem with flash).
I'll wait for the one in Youtube.

Thanks, Ico.

Forgot to mention. I did some days ago because I've been checking that
youtube channel.
Nice music, really nice sounds. And I would like to know what are you doing
with your wiimotes and what are they controlling.

Is the title of the page (look for it in the windows title or in the tabs
title) not good enough? It says something about a linux laptop orchestra.
I only encountered laptop orchestras while searching for tutorials to build
cheap sphere speakers and encountered the slork.
I would like to hear some of them live. Are there any in germany?
Or would some of the existing one have the money to do a group visit to the
next lac?
Have fun,

I wanted to share with you my latest Linux-based
and
Linuxaudio.org-related project that has been sucking up most of my
time over the past year or so to the point it seemed as if I have
disappeared off the face of the Earth. Needless to mention it
continues to alter my sleeping/eating patterns with unprecedented
aptitude and with no end in sight ;-).
http://l2ork.music.vt.edu/
It would be real nice if you could say in a few
sentences what it is.
The about page on the website reads more like a personal history than
anything else, and I haven't found anything that tells me what l2ork or
disis is.

We've produced youtube videos on how to build one yourself. The videos are
linked from the L2ork page (see media->videos). You can also go for the
direct link at http://www.youtube.com/vtdisis
As for upcoming LAC, I am considering (barring any unexpected developments)
proposing bringing the whole group there. Naturally, there are a million of
hurdles to be overcome, including funding before that can become a reality.
FWIW, speakers we built are considerably cheaper than the alterantives, yet
sound amazingly well based on the preliminary tests we ran. As a matter of
fact our entire setup including laptop, soundcard, speaker, cables, and
wiimote/nunchuk runs under $750/seat, with speakers being around $250.
Obviously, time to build one is not factored into this.
Best wishes,
Ico
