Soundlab #2

Move the tape, shape the sound. Discover how a single recording can become something new with every gesture.

MANIPULOPHONE

No bow or drumsticks to make music, but a piece of magnetic tape. With Manipulophone, you play a pre-recorded tape by moving it across the playback heads.

Slide faster or slower, forwards or backwards, and discover how the very same recording can transform with every movement. Each gesture changes what you hear, turning experimentation into a musical discovery.

Manipulophone is an installation by Stichting Logos.

Mystery of Time · 24.11.2026 · Brussels Philharmonic LAB @ Flagey

Conductor Oscar Jockel explores the potential of an orchestra scattered throughout the hall: distance shifts into proximity, sound turns fluid, and movement reshapes the listening experience. Musicians, instruments, audience—everyone breathes and sounds differently. An experience that grounds you in the here and now.
