About

legoloop deals with two important subjects of electronic music. LEGO as modular hands-on architectural concept – an analogy to sound software such as live, max MSP, Reaktor and the like – and the loop, one of the key element in in electronic club music.

The project evolved out of the preoccupation with the term “live” in electronic club culture and the related melting of the two formerly seperated roles of the dj and the producer. Turntable and computer, the two most important technical devices of club culture (beside other psychoactive substances), are linked up to each other and form a new interface which allows a visual and haptical approach towards samplebased digital sound generation. lego bricks take over the functions of knobs, sliders, mouse and keyboard. A video camera replaces the needle as pick-up. Structures of sounds can be built, changed and destroyed intuitively.

The turntable is enhanced by the modularity of digial music production and hence quotes himself as the origin of sampling in popular music. A media feedback over time. A loop.
