I will say though that I think his approach towards sound construction works a lot better when he realizes it electronically instead of with traditional instruments/voices. (ditto for Xenakis) As a result, my appreciation for Stockhausen is mostly with regard to his electronic output, which, though only a small portion of his total work, is of consistently high quality. My all time favorite Stockhausen piece is "Hymnen", which was dense masses of sound into which was incorporated national anthems, shortwave radio sounds, choral effects and "found voices". The whole piece flows excellently and is a journey through a very wide range of moods, sounds and techniques while remaining very focused, coherent and composed. His music is decidedly experimental, though. No beats, overt rhythms or melodies, at least not in any conventional sense, though "Hymnen" does have an obliquely consonant feel to it and has a very palpable sense of momentum. His music can also shift on you quite suddenly with sounds or voices suddenly, and sometimes loudly, coming out of the mix at you. i wouldn't call it "scary" music, but it isn't ambient "mood" music designed to be played in the background and ignored. the music is composed and sounds best (and reveals the most) when you actively engage in it. if you're interested in exploring his electronic works, I'd suggest checking out: Hymnen Gesang der Junglinge Kontakte Telemusik Mixture Mikrophonie I & II They were all released on Duetsche Grammophon on LP and have been rereleased on CD recently, though the prices on the releases are obscenely high. If you have a good public library nearby, I'd suggest stopping my the classical music dept. first and seeing if they have the LPs available for listening.

hi My former music teacher used to learn from him. Some of the stories are amazing. For example he told me how they used to have many tape loops stretched the length of a big hall and play them. The tape cutting techniques they used sound so tedious, using thousands of splices and joining them (does anybody no what the average amount of splices were for the first detroit stuff). Aparently they would splice lots of prerecorded tape and stick them all on the wall and then randomly put it back togeather. The first synths they used were as big as whole rooms. Personly i find stockhausens music damn scary but very interesting. My teacher said the last thing he heard that stockhausen was working on was a 24 hour oprah. Crazy!

stockhausen is one of the originators of experimental electronic music. he started to experiment with tapeloops and pianoplayers in the 50s,,,some kind of cage,,if you want, but far more experimental. you really got to check his music and his compositions,,,theyre awesome! -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: Dave Dawson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> An: 313@hyperreal.org <313@hyperreal.org> Datum: Donnerstag, 18.
