Princeton laptop orchestra

I hadn’t realized it but right here where I live there is a very unusual orchestra. It is called the Princeton Laptop Orchestra and has 30 members. Each musician performs with a laptop and custom designed hemispherical speaker. It was founded in 2005 and was the first of its kind although it has inspired the formation of other ensembles. I haven’t been to a concert so I don’t know what it sounds like. Anybody ever heard a laptop orchestra perform?

Thanks for the link, Joel. After listening to a few clips, my personal opinion is that conventional instruments are not about to be replaced yet.
