    M&M ensemble


    On this new CD by the Logos M&M ensemble a collection of newly composed pieces for the orchestra were brought together.

    This professional group focusses 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) we have documented the individual automats and some of their capacities as well as a first album of compositions for groups of robots. On this new CD, all the automats form an orchestra. Some of the pieces are exclusively based on real-time composition-code, written for the computer network that controls the automats, others are written in a more traditional way, scored, sequenced and orchestrated for the robot orchestra.

    The CD reflects a momentary 2004 snapshot of the ongoing efforts of the 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 to develop 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.
