NRCI: Networked Resources for Collaborative Improvisation
A freely available suite of network-enabled tools (built with Pd and Processing) for laptop ensemble performance. NRCI was developed by Christopher Burns and Greg Surges for MiLO, the Milwaukee Laptop Orchestra. This software is no longer maintained, but the final version remains available in case it's useful.
