etaudio Ping Pong is partly music performance partly a game for everyone to join in. It is based on "run around" table tennis, but it ain't no ball game, instead players can lay hand on some cutting edge technology and produce some wicked beats.

Netaudio Ping Pong is a collaborative improvisation based on "run around" table tennis. With the help of midi controlled sound equipment several players can improvise music in a collaborative yet competitive environment.

The Netaudio Ping Pong is performed in two session of 30mins throughout an afternoon or evening, whereas members of the audience are invited to take part. They can book their places and even submit their own samples, loops and sounds prior to the event.

Setup:
The performance is set around a ping pong table equipped with electronic drum pads. Up to 12 players are invited to queue up on either side of the table. When the performance starts, each player has its turn to play music on the pads for 2-3 seconds. A control mechanism switches between the two sides of the table. Players gradually rotate around the ping pong table.

The players aim to contribute towards a seamless musical mix. Players drops out from the performance if missing their term or playing to the dislike of the audience. Eventually there are only two players left performing the final.

Prior to each session prospective players are encouraged to contribute sound, samples and loops to the game. these are then preloaded onto the drum-pad for the game.
