Challenges in the Development of an Easy-Accessed Mobile Phone Orchestra Platform
summary
mobilephoneorchestra.com is a Web Audio API platform that runs on smartphones and stages fixed polyphonic contemporary pieces with up to hundreds of participants; development spans three iterative performances including a 2018 rehearsal with Riga Sinfonietta and uses schoolchildren 10–17 years as performers. The team builds a browser instrument, network sync and multipart animated notation interface and reports that large-scale concert-hall sonorities are achievable but that balancing sonic control and easy access for youth remains the central unresolved challenge.
