      Bringing Csound and Computer Music to the Children
      of the World on the $100 Laptop

      A Demonstration of Csound5 Running in Realtime on the *XO* Laptop.

      The OLPC (One Laptop Per Child) computer is an incredibly potent learning tool created expressly for the world's poorest children living in its most remote environments. Behind the project is the notion that children need to learn learning, which is primarily acquired through the passion that comes from access, the ability to make things, to communicate and to express. On the $100 laptop, what they will be using for learing about sound and music is Csound and graphical and intuitive musical applications specifically developed for the laptop with Csound. In this demonstration, I will show you some of these unique Mesh networking, remote-jamming, interactive learning, sound-making, sound-exploring, and music-making possibilities that Barry Vercoe and I have been developing at OLPC, that Barry's students have been developing at MIT, that my students have been developing at Berklee, and especially the flagship OLPC Music applications - Simon Schampijer's *Memory Game*, and *TamTam* http://wiki.laptop.org/go/TamTam developed by Jean Piché and his team of programmers at the University of Montreal. You will be amazaed at the sound quality and musical capabilities of this machine and you will be inspired by the fact that all over the world, the poorest children will soon have these resources with which to communicate, learn, and grow in understanding and hope. And maybe, just maybe, they will grow up wanting to play together and make music rather than fight with each other and make war. The OLPC $100 laptop is truly an instrument of growth and change - and Csound, as you will see and hear, is at the very heart of it!
