    M&M ensemble


    On this sixth CD by the Logos M&M ensemble a collection of newly build machines are exposed individually.

    The M&M ensemble forms a professional group of performers, composers and musicians focussing on the interaction between man and machine and has its permanent residence at the Logos Foundation. The machines are all electro-mechanical robots designed and built by Godfried-Willem Raes. On previous CD's in this series (LPD007: Automaton , LPD012 More Automats, LPD008 M&M , LPD013 Machine Orchestra, LPD014 Robodies and the CR-ROM LPRD001) we have documented earlier individual automats and some of their capacities as well as two albums devoted to new compositions for groups of robots.

    This CD reflects a momentary mid-2008 snapshot of the ongoing efforts of this unique ensemble to redefine musicianship. The adventure of this process can be followed by picking up some of our monthly concerts at the Logos Tetrahedron in Ghent and by paying a visit to our regularly updated website:

    http://logosfoundation.org/m&m.html

    Building musical robots has been an ongoing activity in the Logos Labs since its very beginning in the late sixties. It is one of the many results of our investigations into the development of new tools for musical expression.

    All music on this CD is hereby put in the public domain. It can be freely distributed, even in public spaces as well as broadcasted provided the origin and the authors are always mentioned and given credit.
