The Logos Foundation is a unique professional<br />
organisation for the promotion of new music<br />
and audio-related arts. This is done by means of<br />
new music production, concerts, performances,<br />
technological research projects and other<br />
contemporary music related activities. Logos is<br />
located in the city of Ghent and was founded in<br />
1968. It is a space run by artists. In its building is the<br />
famous Logos Tetrahedron, a space with acoustics<br />
designed for the performance of new music.<br />
The performance space with its extraordinary<br />
60 degrees angles has been used to develop the full-evening music theatre<br />
compositions A Book of Moves and Songbook. Both productions were<br />
completely performed on a sonar based invisible instrument. This pioneering<br />
work in fully wireless gesture control has made Logos one of the most advanced<br />
centers for music technology in the world. Over the last fifteen years Logos<br />
Foundation has developed, what became known as, the world’s largest robot<br />
orchestra. It includes forty robots up to date. Composers from all over the<br />
world come to Logos to develop new pieces for this orchestra. The Logos crew<br />
is Godfried-Willem Raes, Moniek Darge, Helen White, Barbara Buchowiec,<br />
Sebastian Bradt, Xavier Verhelst, Peter Van Lancker and Katie Couck.<br />
