Concerts at Logos - 1970

Nederlandse tekst over 10 jaar Logos 1968-1979

Voor een goed verhaal over de geschiedenis van logos, is er het boek van Godfried-Willem Raes: 'Logos @ 50, het kloppend hart van de avant-garde muziek in Vlaanderen' (ed. Stichting Kunstboek, Oostkamp, 2018)

In 1970 the people in the logos workshop were: Godfried-Willem Raes, Mark Desmet, Emmy Meirlaen, Etienne Baert, Jan Van Opstal, Roel Goussey, Jan Kerkhof, Frank Vercruysse (+). We had our rehearsal room in the 'Pand' in the infamous Patershol district in Ghent but later in the year, we moved our rehearsal spaces to Schoenlapperssteeg. Godfried-Willem Raes continued his activity as president of the Universitary Musicclub (UMG) and thus had the opportunity to organize new music concerts and to visit and invite musicians from abroad.

The group, operating as a chamber music ensemble, had a repertoire with pieces by Karlheinz Stockhausen, David Behrman, Morton Feldman, John Cage, Larry Austin, Cornelius Cardew, Earle Brown, Max Eugen Keller, Godfried-Willem Raes, Iannis Xenakis, Christian Wolff, Robert Ashley, Rolf Gehlhaar.

Further personal contacts were established with composer/performers/groups such as Cornelius Cardew, Sonic Arts Union, Gordon Mumma, Louis Andriessen, Peter Schat, Ladislav Kupkovic, Guenther Becker, Warren Burt, Claude Vivier, Max Eugen Keller, Paul Van Gijsegem, Dick Raaijmakers. Godfried-Willem Raes, together with Jan Van Opstal studied at Darmstadt with Karlheinz Stockhausen and Gyorgy Ligeti.
