Stichting Logos
bio
The Logos Foundation is Flanders' unique professional organization for the promotion of new musics and audio related arts by means of new music production, concerts, performances, composition, technological research projects and other contemporary music related activities.
Logos took off in 1968 in Ghent... A quite unique center for new music and experiment runned by artists. In 2008 Logos inaugurated its newly renovated stainless steel building, located at Bomastraat 26-28 in Ghent. Inside the building we find the famous Logos Tetrahedron: a space with ideal acoustics specially build for new music performances. The space seats maximum 150 people. Weekly concerts devoted to new musics take place inside.
The performance space with its characteristic 60 degrees angles, was used extensively to develop the full-evening music theatre compositions 'A Book of Moves' and 'Songbook' , both completely performed on a sonar based invisible instrument. This pioneering work in fully wireless gesture control placed Logos on the map of the most advanced centers for music technology in the world.
The last fifteen years, at the Logos Foundation, we have constructed and developed mostly what became the world's largest robot orchestra. The laptop server is setup in the very corner of the tetrahedron hall. Many composers come to Logos to develop new pieces for this orchestra. The orchestra nowadays in composed of 40 robots and has grown so large that it is impossible to fit it onto a single picture.
