I'm surprised nobody has mentioned this, but last Thursday was a performance by
Narodniki in Berlin, which this time consisted of (Left to Right):

Richie Hawtin
Max Loderbauer (Sun Electric)
Luciano
Ricardo Villalobos
Monolake
Zip
Scion/Vainqueur/Substance
Cabane
All played on their laptops, un-synched, at a tempo of 120 BPM, with the
exception of Monolake who was the conductor, or better the controller, who used
the mixer to determine which artists were being mixed with which and how. Zip
and Ricardo also took a few moments to control.
The best way to describe it is free-form laptop jazz orchestrated by a
perfectionist.
You gotta love European arts subsidies.
