After bpNichol, by Kristof Lauwers

"After bpNichol" is a composition for audio track and the robotic
instruments of the Logos Robot Orchestra. The audio track is a montage of samples of bpNichol's voice, mostly with no or little processing. The Logos Robot Orchestra is an orchestra consisting of over 40 robotic musical instruments, some of which are automated existing instruments,others are completely new inventions. A lot of this instruments have very fine expressive control, which I use in this composition, to imitate, extend and complement the voice sounds on the tape.
