In 2024, the Logelloù will celebrate the 20th anniversary of the first public use of Logelloop.
Logelloù is therefore directing this year’s call to the composition of a real-time electroacoustic piece using Logelloop software.
The idea is to compose a piece with Logelloop lasting a minimum of 15 to 20 minutes, and perform it as a solo, duo, trio or quartet, with musicians playing monophonic or polyphonic acoustic instruments.
Two works will be selected to be performed at events between March and June 2024.
Download here the complete document of the call for compositions. (The document is written in French, please ask if you need an English version)
We look forward to receiving your applications by e-mail at administration -at- logellou -dot- com by September 10, 2023.
Can I grab an English copy of the application? Thanks! – Trevor
