Logos Tetrahedron concert hall weergeven op een grotere kaart

The founders of the Logos Foundation, Godfried-Willem Raes and Moniek Darge, have been active in new music since 1968. Logos is home to the <M&M> Robot Orchestra, the largest fully automated orchestra in the world. As well as playing written compositions, the robots can interact with performers (using interfaces such as radar and sonar sensors) to create new music in real time. But the Foundation is far more than just the robots. We host regular concerts by visiting artists from around the world in our specially designed Tetrahedron and present other projects such as the audio-visual music boxes, the Pneumaphone project and the Singing Bicycles. We also have an extensive archive and documentation centre. To keep up to date with our activities, why not look at the Logos Blad or subscribe to our e-mail list for concert updates?
