lectures at LOOS

As a music research laboratory, we feel a responsibility for critically thinking and expanding the knowledge pool in various music and interdisciplinary fields. Through the years we have compiled an incredible amount of resources and contributed to the advancement of experimental music.

As LOOS and at Studio LOOS we give and host presentations, lectures and workshops of the new discoveries to anyone who has interest in our field. Through the years we have hosted many lectures:
