Directory of Canadian and International Laptop Ensembles and Orchestras Active 1995–2022
In 2014, as part of her work as research assistant to Eldad Tsabary (Concordia University, founder of CLOrk — Concordia Laptop Orchestra), Jamie Woollard compiled a list of laptop ensembles and LOrks that had existed as one-off or sustained projects in the prior two decades. Since it was first compiled, some information in the list has become outdated, some groups are no longer active and a number of new ensembles have been formed. In 2022, jef chippewa reviewed and revised the original material, and he and Woollard invited the original contributors and the general public to update and add to the list.
Such a list could never expect to attain a complete and final state, regardless of the authors’ best intentions and efforts invested. Therefore, from now to the end of 2022, corrections, revisions and updates are very welcome, as are new additions to the list! Notably ensembles that are or were active in Africa and Asia, as the directory is currently fairly lacking on information about laptop ensembles and laptop orchestra activities in those regions.
Please consult the “Invitation to Contribute” [PDF] for brief instructions on how to submit corrections, completions and additions. We thank you in advance for your help in maintaining and improving this resource!
