Selbstlose Musik

This bilingual collection brings together writings, conversations, letters and commentaries on works by and about Karel Goeyvaerts - one of the central figures of the post-war avant-garde. In his texts, Goeyvaerts reflects on electronic music, serial composition, the role of spirituality and ritual in music and the utopian aspirations of post-war modernism. Supplemented by conversations with Wim Mertens, Gisela Gronemeyer, Martin Zenck and many others, a picture emerges of a composer who uncompromisingly searched for a "homogeneous sound world", while always remaining open to interdisciplinary impulses, new technologies and metaphysical questions.

Deze tweetalige bundel (Nederlands/Duits) verzamelt geschriften, gesprekken, brieven en programmatoelichtingen van en over Karel Goeyvaerts - een sleutelfiguur van de naoorlogse avant-garde. Goeyvaerts reflects on electronic music, serious composition, spirituality and ritual, and on the utopian aspirations of modern music after 1945. Wim Mertens, Gisela Gronemeyer and Martin Zenck present the story of a composer who was determined to create a 'homogeneous sound world', but who was also open to new technologies, interdisciplinary impulses and metaphysical questions.
