Most of our equipment has finally arrived –  even if still in boxes…Mathieu Marcoux, technical manager of the Nouvel Ensemble Moderne, currently also doubles as consultant at matralab. He has devised a technical ground plan and an equipment management system and now, together with matralab research assistants Michal Seta, Navid Navab and Ralph Denzer, he proceeds to move the lab into working mode. If everything goes well, all set-up and testing will be done by end of January. THEN: Look out for our great launch programme in late feb/early march when matralab will host talks, demos, concerts and intermedia shows by the Bozzini Quartet, Chris Ziegler, Roddy Ellias, the Canadian 60×60 project and many more.
