Logos' M&M ORCHESTRA (Dutch spoken)

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

Logos houses the most experienced as well as innovative music ensemble in the country, if it comes to the area of music and technology. Particularly during the last decades, collaborative concert projects involving interactive robots and musicians became a very hot focus in our activity. Our more than 38 years of experience in use and development of all kinds of human interfaces (wireless gesture controll, real time sound analysis, microwave radar, accelleration sensors, pyrodetectors, lightsensors, myoelectric devices, brainwaves, EEG and ECG.....) combined with our results in experimental robot building are the fertile soil. It almost by necessity had to eventually lead to the formation of a fixed number of people forming a professional ensemble of international profile, specializing on performances involving man and machines, hence the name M&M.

Some would argue it's the imperfections that makes the music good.

Cool! I wish there were more Logos Foundation videos. Preferably, ones with solo instruments.

"There is no future for classical trained musicians, because mechanics always get better, more precise, we stay more or less physical the same, we don't get more brains, we don't play faster."

He also said in an interview it's ridiculous to spend so much money on training of players of difficult archaic instruments like the violin.

"It would be as if you would have a pianist with 88 fingers, but if we as humans press a key than we can't control the amount of pressure in every finger, this piano is more nuanced than a piano player will ever be"

"Pure accoustically, there's nothing virtual in this orchestra, every noise has it's fysical component."
