Raspberry Pi orchestra

The Raspberry Pi is an ideal platform for kids to learn more about computing with sound and video by working in social groups. Create a system that will allow a number of people in the same or different locations to play instruments of the Indonesian gamelan, producing a single music performance that can be heard by each of them. If a player needs to take a break,they can set their session to a robot mode, in which the appropriate notes are played at the right times relative to other players. Note that relative timing of the event streams, even in the case where no robots are playing, is likely to be a hard problem!
