Thanks for posting. I heard it in the Royal Albert Hall on Stockhausen Day as part of the 2008 Proms. It was interesting, but far from being Stockhausen at his mind-blowing best. Glad to hear it again, mind.
They're arbitrary sections. This would up being Stockhausen's last studio ("tape") piece. I regret not having heard it in octophonic sound, as in stereo mixdown it's marred by its naïve reliance on canned synthesizer timbres associated with 1980s commercial music. It sounds much like Oktophonie and many of the synthesizer-based pieces composed for LICHT, but with extra emphasis on pitch bends. Compare with The Residents version of "Rhapsody in Blue" (from 1984), but with much pretense added :-)

Are the three videos divided up into movements? Or just sort of arbitrary sections of your own choosing?
