Drawing together, via a co-operative network of some of the most
innovative independent promoters, artists and labels, and sponsored
by The Arts Council of England, LOGARHYTHM aims to readdress the
balance between the UK's pool of pioneering and creative talents,
and the under representation of electronic music, particularly
in the live arena, with a series of events, workshops, tutorials
and concerts that will serve as a focal point for the UK's electronic
music scene.
With a bold approach, not only to staging music events, but also
to
exhibiting the work of up-and-coming visual artists, LOGARHYTHM
also aims to provide potential promoters with training in the
areas of funding, fundraising, marketing and promotion, as well
as offering advice, discussion and seminars on the core technologies
of electronic music. In addition, each event will also offer rare
and exclusive vinyl and CDs for sale.
Allied to these live events, and supporting LOGARHYTHM's aims
and activities will be an ever-changing communication hub and
forum - www.logarhythm.org.uk
- which, with a dynamic content, including extensive record and
live reviews, will also contain comprehensive listings sections,
message boards and expert advice columns.
This website has become the two-way focal point of the organisation's
operation since its launch in late June.
