NOP.nz / Meta-Orchestre

NOP.nz is a cross-cultural project between France and New Zealand. An inter-arts orchestra is based in Auckland since May 2011 and will perform pieces from both France and New Zealand. Cultures will interact with one another using a pioneer device: the Meta-Mallette. It is a device enabling multiple players to perform live sounds and images thanks to video game joysticks, all connected to one single computer. The concept involves gathering people from different ethnic backgrounds, music abilities, ages and social classes to collectively play sound and visual parts.
