It focuses on the promotion of [new music](/source/Contemporary_classical_music)s and audio related arts by means of new music production, concerts, performances, composition, technological research projects and other contemporary music related activities. The Logos Foundation (and its concert hall, the [Logos Tetrahedron](/source/Logos_Tetrahedron)) is based in [Ghent](/source/Ghent), [Belgium](/source/Belgium) ([Flanders](/source/Flanders) region). Composers [Godfried-Willem Raes](/source/Godfried-Willem_Raes) and [Moniek Darge](/source/Moniek_Darge){{Cite web |title=DARGE Moniek (1952) |url=https://matrix-new-music.be/en/publications/flemish-composers-database/darge-moniek/ |access-date=2022-04-18 |website=MATRIX [New Music Centre] |language=en-GB}} are the major driving forces behind the Logos Foundation. Since the last decades of the 20th century the Logos Foundation encourages publication of music in a [copyright-free](/source/copyright-free) format.{{cite web |url=http://www.logosfoundation.org/copyleft/copyrigh.html |title=The Absurdity of Copyright}} ==Logos Tetrahedron== The ''Logos Tetrahedron'' is a concert hall in [Ghent, Belgium](/source/Ghent%2C_Belgium) adjacent to the foundation's recording studio and offices. It has seating for 150 people and is equipped with sound and light infrastructure. Since the concert hall is in the shape of a [tetrahedron](/source/tetrahedron), it has no straight angles and, as a result, no standing waves can occur. Acoustic waves can never amplify one another in phase and are reflected by the walls under ever changing angles. The hall is exclusively used for contemporary and experimental music, such as [electronic music](/source/electronic_music) and [computer music](/source/computer_music) and holds approximately 65 concerts a year, primarily by the Logos Foundation. In 2012 they were host for the [ISCM World Music Days](/source/ISCM_World_Music_Days){{Cite web|url=http://www.iscm.org/activities/wmds/reports/report-iscm-world-music-days-2012-belgium-john-mclachlan |title=ISCM World Music Days 2012 in Belgium}} . The concert hall was built in 1990 by [Godfried-Willem Raes](/source/Godfried-Willem_Raes) and the Logos workgroup using steel, concrete and plate-metal. Construction took one year. The hall was opened in 1991 with a three-day festival. ==M&M robot orchestra== Logos houses the innovative music ensemble M&M robot orchestra (man and machine). All kinds of musical interfaces (wireless gesture control, real time sound analysis, microwave radar, acceleration sensors, pyrodetectors, lightsensors, myoelectric devices, brainwaves, EEG and ECG and so on) are combined with the results of experimental [robot](/source/robot) design. Collaborative concerts are organised involving interactive robots and musicians. They made a ''[http://logosfoundation.org/instrum_gwr/manual.html manual]'' for composers who would like to write for this orchestra.{{Cite web |last=Kuzminski |first=Adriane |date=May 5, 2016 |title=News: AOS Presents: Dr. Godfried-Willem Raes and His Robot Orchestra |url=https://designingsound.org/2016/05/05/news-aos-presents-dr-godfried-willem-raes-and-his-robot-orchestra/ |access-date=2022-04-18 |website=Designing Sound |language=}}{{Cite web|url=http://architectofsound.wordpress.com/2016/03/08/aos-presents-dr-godfried-willem-raes-professor-composer-music-maker-and-president-of-the-logos-foundation-and-general-director-of-the-logos-mm-ensemble/ |title=AOS Presents: Dr. Godfried-Willem Raes – Professor, Composer, music maker and President of the Logos Foundation and general director of the Logos M&M ensemble}}{{Cite web|url=http://www.flandersmusic.be/identity.php?ID=138399 |title=Kunstenpunt / Flanders Arts Institute Orchestra}}{{Cite web|url=http://www.flanderstoday.eu/living/orchestrations |title=flanderstoday}} In 2021, the [Stedelijk Museum voor Actuele Kunst](/source/Stedelijk_Museum_voor_Actuele_Kunst) in Ghent dedicated an exhibition to the Logos Foundation and its robot orchestra.{{Cite web |title=Audio-art exhibition by Logos Foundation |url=https://smak.be/en/news/audio-art-tentoonstelling-door-stichting-logos |access-date=2022-04-18 |website=SMAK |language=en}} ==See also== * [Schreck ensemble](/source/Schreck_ensemble) == References == {{Reflist}} == External links == * [http://logosfoundation.org Official site of Logos Foundation] * [http://www.flandersmusic.be/organisation.php?ID=13996 Logos Foundation on the website of Flanders Music Centre] * [http://www.logosfoundation.org/architecture/tetrhall.html Logos Tetrahedron Concert Hall] * [http://www.logosfoundation.org/tetrhall_techspec.html Technical notes and infrastructure survey for musicians] {{coord missing|Belgium}} Category:Buildings and structures in Ghent Category:Buildings and structures completed in 1991 Category:Music venues completed in 1991 Category:Buildings and structures completed in 1990 Category:Tourist attractions in East Flanders Category:1991 establishments in Belgium Category:Arts foundations based in Europe Category:Organisations based in East Flanders Category:Culture of Ghent Category:Belgian music industry Category:Year of establishment missing Category:1968 establishments in Belgium {{music-org-stub}} {{Belgium-org-stub}} --- Adapted from the Wikipedia article [Logos Foundation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logos_Foundation) by Wikipedia contributors ([contributor history](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logos_Foundation?action=history)).
