Logos Duo is Belgian multi-instrumentalists Godfried-Willem Raes and
Moniek Darge, who have been composing and performing together since 1969.
Their recordings include:
Integratie (1973),
For Grooves (1979),
Composition/Improvisation (Wallonia, 1982),
Murphy (1989),
Mighty Risen Plea (Sacred Frame, 1991),
plus
Raes' Bellenorgel (1979) and Pneumafoon (1986)
and
Darge's Sounds of Sacred Places (1986).
The pieces on
Logos Works (XI, 1995)
employ different ensembles, sometimes natural
sounds and sometimes the computer. Percussions and electronics compete for
the front seat (the dialectics being particularly challenging in
Darge's Man-Mo).
Exotic influences abound (Raes' Shifts),
but are hard to pin down.
Their incursion into dissonant chamber music
(Raes' Fuga Memento and Fuga Otto Nove) is inventive and
elegant.
A broad palette of performing techniques ensures a multiplicity
of perspectives that is rare among practicioners of musique concrete.
This anthology was followed by Darge's Cyclic (1998) and the duo's
2 Gather (2003).
