Ice 'n' Bass

"Ice 'n' Bass" is a visually impressive organic and tactile sound installation. Its core consists of a row of suspended metal plates carrying huge blocks of ice. The sound of waterdrops detaching themselves from the melting blocks of ice is amplified using contact microphones. These are hidden underneath a large metal strip bolted to the floor. This particular sound is combined with an extremely physical subbass soundtrack. The audience can touch the blocks of ice and use the metal strip underneath as a percussive instrument, thus becoming part of the sound generated by the installation. "Ice 'n' Bass" is presented in a dark and hidden place, increasing its claustrophobic but at the same time zenlike effect.

JazzTube

"JazzTube" is a sound installation initially created by Foton for the .Motives Jazz festival 2005 and the city of Genk. Jazz is music - music is sound - sound is waves. Making these waves visible to the naked eye is what "JazzTube" is about. "JazzTube" is part composition, part hardware. The composition is a fragmented collage, reshaping sound snippets from the artists who performed during the .Motives festival. The hardware consists of two metal tubes with built-in speakers, positioned above the water of a fountain. Sound waves travel from the speaker through the tubes, onto the water surface. Sound becomes visible.

"JazzTube" can be reconfigured into a more generic "SoundTube" for all different kinds of music and compositions, and can be extended by adding more tubes.

M&M "Sensations"

Het Mens&Machine-ensemble van de 21ste eeuw

De in de Stichting Logos ontwikkelde sensoren (picradars, hybrid sensor, sonar,...) formuleren in zekere zin een actueel antwoord op de speeltechnische problemen waar elke klassiek getrainde musicus nog steeds mee kampt, namelijk de ellenlange vervolmaking die hij per slot van rekening nog moet doormaken op instrumenten die in geen eeuwen meer qua vorm of hoedanigheid geëvolueerd zijn. De sensoren die Godfried-Willem Raes heeft ontwikkeld overbruggen de leemte tussen het lichaam dat zich uitdrukt en de dienovereenkomstige klank; het is een rechtstreekse uitwerking van de lichamelijke acties, een perfect synchrone belichaming van wat het lichaam aan muzikale gestiek oproept.
