This paper presents an ongoing project focused on the co-design and
co-creation of a small orchestra of digitally fabricated digital musical
instruments (DMIs) based on the Bela board, an open-source
embedded computing platform. The project took place in Fab Labs,
an international network of digital fabrication laboratories1. The orchestra,
named Game|Lan, is inspired by the traditional Indonesian
Gamelan ensembles, their music and philosophy. The project aims
to explore the capabilities of the Fab Lab network which runs on an
open-access, open-source and open-hardware ethos, for a distributed
project of this type. The aspiration is to create an original orchestra
for non-musicians, which offers the rich collective experience of
being in a music group and explore it as a medium for social interaction.
This paper presents the first results of the research project
which took place is three Fab Labs in South America and it focuses
on the process and the development of the project.
