Apple II Concert streaming live from Machine Project in LA today, with Jason Torchinsky

--> Phil Merkow of Yowie.com says, An awesome concert experiment is taking place today, Saturday June 25, in Los Angeles at Machine Project Gallery in Echo Park. As a grand "musical" experiment, noted loon Jason Torchinsky has written a crude 16-step sequencer for the Apple II, and is seeking to gather up as many Apple IIs as possible to construct an orchestra which will then perform a live, dynamic concert/musical event. Machine's resident music guru, Chris Kallmyer, will be on hand to discuss the nature of music, why some of the Apple's 256 tones are notes and some are not. Here is a direct link to the streaming page. After the broadcast is over it will automatically archive and be available on demand. Starts at 6pm PT with a meeting of the Apple II owners/musicians, and concert begins at 8pm. More info here. We love Jason Torchinsky's wacky and wonderful projects around here at Boing Boing, and you may also dig his book: Ad Nauseam: A Survivor's Guide to American Consumer Culture...
