An audiovisual experience: Joystick Orchestra at Te Papa
Have you ever seen a joystick
orchestra?
Have you ever seen a joystick orchestra? Well here’s your chance! As part of the festivities for the 2011 Rugby World Cup, joystick orchestra, NOP.nz managed by Frenchwoman Nolwenn Hugain, will perform one concert only in Wellington on the 30 of September alongside French music group PUCE MUSE in Te Papa’s Soundings Theatre. Don’t miss this explosive audio and visual experience!
This group will be made up entirely of Wellington artists and musical enthusiasts who have shown their interest in being part of a truly unique experience! The locals will use a multimedia device connected to joysticks to create music.
The aim of NOP.nz, a French-New Zealand cultural project, is to experiment with innovative orchestral practises. The initiative was created with the view of bringing together different people, musicians or amateurs, of any age or skill level, to perform French audio and visual compositions in order to encourage exchange and dialogue between people of the two cultures.
