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 />
