After 8 years of EME, this year EME turned to EME.LL – EME Live Laptops.
This year’s edition is a parallel event dedicated exclusively to laptops in the live performance context. It is also a moment of reflection, a moment of evaluation and a small step into new possible futures. The main focus is now the creator, the laptop user, his problems, his questions and why not, his ambitions!
This edition will consist of a one-day symposium with 16 musicians, followed by a day of performances. All the 16 guests have in common their extended use of the laptop in a real time performance context.
The group will make a collective performance —16 laptops (12 on sound and 4 on visuals) followed by a solo laptop from one of the most recognized electronic activists: Robin Rimbaud, aka Scanner.
EME.LL edition is part of Olhares de Outono Festival and is supported by the Universidade Católica do Porto. The meeting and the performance will be held at the historical space of the Mosteiro São Bento da Vitória in Porto.
