Strange Attractor Study, for Laptop Orchestra, by Paul Hembree

Members of the Boulder Laptop Orchestra (BLOrk):
John Drumheller, Nate Wheeler, and Ryan Wurst, laptops.
Paul Hembree, sound-painting gesticulations (conductor)
John Gunther, artistic director

BLOrk controls the bounds of a dynamical system, specifically the Hénon map strange attractor, and how it is mapped onto musical parameters. The overall shape of the piece is improvised and simultaneously communicated to the performers by the sound-painting conductor.
