Stanford Laptop Orchestra | Twilight (2013)

Twilight (2013) for laptop orchestra by Ge Wang performed by Stanford Laptop Orchestra Bing Concert Hall @ Stanford University, May 2013. Inspired by the classic science-fiction short story “Twilight“ by John W. Campbell (published in 1934, under the pseudonym “Don A. Stuart“), this piece ruminates not of the dawn, ascension, nor triumph of the human race, but of one possible demise set seven million years in the future. This end is not one of annihilation through war, nor decimation from famine or disease
