iPhone orchestra ready for debut

A group of US students has created an entire orchestra out of separate iPhone applications.

As part of their studies, the group from the University of Michigan built the applications themselves and composed music for them.

While some of the applications sound similar to traditional instruments, others make unique noises.

The iPhone handsets are attached to speakers which the performers wear around their wrists.

A live concert of the students' original compositions is planned for 9 December. It will mark the end of their three-month course, run by Austrian computer scientist and musician Georg Essl.
