and Immersion Music
Orchestral Music at the Technological Frontier
A free concert presented as part of the 2001 Cyberarts Festival
"An aural, visual, and sensory exploration of where music and technology meet -- past, present, and future."
Besides the Ballet mécanique, the program included works by Tod Machover and André Jolivet,
plus world premieres by John Oswald and Eric Chasalow.
The Boston 
called it "A thrilling event!…like hearing the 20th-century modern being born!"
Read the whole review and also a wonderful preview!
The reviewer for the Boston Globe, however, left at intermission, saying she'd "heard it already." Oh well…
