@theaknoize It's a piece intended to glorify God, which probably tells you all you need to know about Karlheinz Stockhausen. You should hear it in 5-channels man, very very intense experience.
The beatles, AFX, radiohead, deadmau5 anyone who has experimented with and makes electronic music must be influenced by this guy in some way or other. But I think two of the four spring to mind, most certainly
@theaknoize Actually, The Beatles once said in an interview that if they could have anyone in the audience of this imaginary concert (they were talking on a recording of a song), they would pick Stockhausen :)
@knoblauchtv Ich habe zu "Gesang der Junglinge" genauso wenig Zugang wie zu "Hurz" (so man es als "moderne Musik" verkaufen würde). Und meinen Musikgeschmack muss wohl ich mit mir ausmachen. Musikgeschmack kann man keinem anderen aufzwängen.
I don't do acid, but I did a show with the shadows of my hands and my cellphone's screen light on my bedroom's walls at night while listening to this. Scared the shit outta me.
to what some people dont understand is, that if you go far back enough you will find out that music today has no meaning. Kids today dont appreciate what they have, with their rap and shit they dont know where its all rooted. They say there are 2 main branches of music one of them being Country and the other IDR... any how the idea is that later new seeds like Trance and this dude right here CREATED Techno, so what you have now, is basiclly Pop music with a synth on it. so be happy
@dalecampbl5 and you call hiphop music ,lets see if its around 70 yrs form now read the philosophy of early 20 century and theory ,or better yet just listen in a quite place with head phones ,stereo is part of the experience ....listen to how the sounds travel in space the beauty of the childrens voices and the perfection of the flow of the words and most of all put the composition in context to the experimental period...,,,good luck this a remarkable piece ciao
@trompette1 More like 100. Did someone just see a Dada-poster and become terribly upset? ... "It's un-patriotic! Not to mention, there's weird sounds in the music all of a sudden. I've barely gotten used to the Saxophone, and now this! These damnable Futurists and their noise-machines... If this continues, where will we be ONE HUNDRED YEARS from now?! We need a good ol' war to set things straight and these troubles in the Balkans looks like just the ticket... "
@dalecampbl5 You should give up music. Seriously. If you can't hear the composed quality of this, you simply do not have the talent for it. I'm against blind worship of seminal composers, but still... It's not exactly Cage, now is it? It's anything but random. No worries: try painting. Visit your local museum and see if you can actually see the compositions, color, texture etc. Still nothing? Try literature. Hell, try sports. I hear football is very popular.
@Metamusik well I'm not a musician, i just listen, I enjoy it, I hear the patterns, etc...at least in Romantic/Classical/Baroque and some 20th century music. You honestly think this kind of music is so unique and special that people can't (with a little effort) pull it out of their asses?
@dalecampbl5 I really don't understand your argumentation here. With a little effort? With a massive show of effort, more like. This is a serial-composition after all, the most minute attention to detail known to western music. Even if it was easy (it's arguably far easier these days when you don't have to edit it on tape) does that really matter? A good Baroque-composer could probably pull a Fugue out of their ass "with a little effort", but who cares?
@dalecampbl5 When you say: This is not "Music" but "Noise", it tells me you haven't really listened to either. I'm not surprised everyone doesn't understand, say, Cage's 4'33, that piece requires a fundamental shift in perspective, a de-emphasis on composer and an emphasis on context and listening. But this?? It's not even microtonal for gods sake; it's about as wacky as Ave Maria...Which coincidentally Gounod "pulled out of his ass" while jammin' out to Prelude No.1 in C-major.
me encanta es a la música lo que Pablo Picasso y Salvador Dalí a la pintura, un transgresor, un provocador, en fin, un artista. Y sólo los que olvidan lo aprendido y con ello se han metamorfoseado, pueden apreciar el otro lado. Si no, les parecen simples ruidos ininteligibles. Y esto debe seguir así.
you know, a scholar of karl who worked for many years with him and learned under him came to our school (i live in germany ) in 12th grade and talked about his experience, you know, and he said that when the beatles incorporated ideas they had into their music they were flattened because suddenly they had at least the knowledge that there are people in music who get them.
he also played us an original acetate he had from this song.
@DeathGrub It's possible to escape from tonality, but it's less akin to escaping from a room by means of a door than to escaping from life by means of a bullet. We're not coming with you, and the future is ours.
If this isn't music, then everything that people consider "music" isn't music. Why would our definition of the twelve-tone system and harmony be the only criteria for a beautiful sound? If your definition of music is "Sounds based on theory developed between 1500 and 1900 in Western Europe," I'm sorry, but you are extremely closed-minded.
I personally do not see how this is "music." You have to have a wide definition to call it "music". And just because I say that does not mean I am calling this stupid.
@dumm3rjunkie This might not seem like music through use of intuition, but it has the same method of creation and inevitable product as any other piece of music. I honestly can't see how one could consider it not being music.
@dumm3rjunkie ich hab auch mal gedacht dass man das nicht musik nennen kann. bis mir auffiel, dass musik alles sein kann, was aus einer verbindung von klängen besteht in welche ALLES hineininterpretiert werden kann. Stockhausen gefällt mir sehr wenn man sich eine geschichte dazu denkt. als kleiner denkanstoss: gesang der jünglinge ist eine geschichte biblischen vorbilds. die kinder werden in einen feuerkessel geschmissen, überleben aber da ihr glaube an gott sehr stark ist.
i dedicate this song to my grandmother. she has pancreatic cancer and has about 6 months to live. i'm gonna play this for her and i will always say i love her till the day she dies.
@ChristopherDone Did you think about that at all before you said it? If a peice had an all percussion middle section would it stop being music for a few minutes and then pick back up later? And he didn't say anything about what music you should like, he said that it is wrong to say this isn't music. You responded by saying that it isn't music because you don't like it, which is far closer to telling people what music they should like than what he said.
@JimCrowize what a goof ball thing to say. you and my little children would have a lot to discuss about music I'm sure. a nice childish conversation about Sponge Bob no doubt.
his music is what drives me to write such crazy stories; this guy is a genuis in the respect he write not music, but the sounds of an intoxicated brain.
Being interested in sound design, this music is the exact of what I call influential to the electronic music era, including the use of synthesisers. Im really into the whole experimental music, and when people say things like "this isn't music because it has no melody" then let me ask you this... John Cage said "Music is NOT always the sound of a tuneful melody..." and Stockhousen is one of my biggest influences in a lot of what I do, and influence for others too.
@Simmyish1 “John Cage said "Music is NOT always the sound of a tuneful melody..."” That's fair enough, but I say it is. What now? Maybe different things are music for different people. Or are you to tell me what music I do and do not like?
Somebody please explain to me why his music is noteworthy. And don't paraphrase wikipedia or go all artsy fartsy, seriously sombody give me an honest answer with personal insight.
@tapaddtiiiii I'm a dancer and when I'm looking for a music that's what I do, that's how I know if I like a music or not. Listen to sthg you really like, close your eyes and really carefully listen to it...folllow all the little evolutions you can perceive...picture yourself anything the music makes you feel of... You'll know automatically if you like it or not, but you'll never hear the music like anyone else... My teacher used to tell me "connect with yourself" (I hope this helped you...:) )
komisch, dass hier so viele amis reinschreiben. wenn man deren zeug hier so liest wird klar, dass sie nie wirklich über steve reich rausgekommen sind.
@TheKomando007 you do have to take into account that Stockhausen thought he was from a planet called Sirius 7. And believed he was abducted by aliens. And was also probed by those aliens on several occasions . . .
@TheKomando007 read the wikipedia article about Stockhausen, where it is explained that that comment was taken out of the context of previous statements, in which the comment is better understood.
Both Stockhausen's parents were killed by Nazi's - his mother was given a lethal injection dues to Nazi policy of killing "useless eaters". He is fully aware what Right Wing propaganda looks like. It is the art of propaganda. A terrible thing happened and it was capitalized on by interested parties to fortify a nationalist military agenda.
this piece is a land mark in the world of electronic music! Cutting edge to say the least, to construct sounds rather than just record & manipulate them, true genius,
"pretentious" is so overused, it is so disgusting and it is so useless to apply here. those who say this type of sound is pretentious are pretentious themselves, they make a big deal out of a tiny argument that has no bearing in reality.
i cant belive that no-one can see how their arguing proves this songs greatness-how many other songs can you think of which divide opinion so much and inspire so much passion on both sides? Also, to those who say there is no skill in making such a song, have you seen the date? 1955. in 1955 the charts was plagued by formulaic 3 chord rock and blues (not all of it was bad but alot was) The sounds and effects created in this music took far more skill to make than a 3 chord song about love
This kind of thing is for people who like cool sounds. Personally I can kind of get into it, but some people are more about chord progressions and melodies or rhythm. It isn't fair to assume that this guy is pretentious because he makes music that you think is strange. Also, telling people they don't like it because they don't understand it is a stupid assumption. Maybe they just don't like it.
@ShortenDavid There's a difference between insisting that people dislike Stockhausen because they don't understand him and pointing out the unfairness of judging a piece of music without giving any indication of having understood it. Not caring for a piece of music is understandable. Declaring it's meaningless without making any effort to follow it is dismissive. BTW: This music flows directly out of S's background as a rationalist serialist. It *is* about rhythm, melody and counterpoint.
@Fremglerk Sure. Though I think if it was about rhythm, melody or counter point, you would be able to post a video response of you dancing and singing to this song.
i like it - but I am old, anxious, bothered: this is music or noise that fits into life now: amongst its interesting traits is that it doesn't prevent work: curiously, more conventional music gets in the way
I think part of the problem of presenting this work (especially on Youtube) is that the assumption is that composers like Stockhausen had contemporary digital techniques available. Yes, if somebody composed this today (just like the composition of Reich's "It's Gonna Rain" or even introduced the theremin, it would seem pretentious given the extensive scope of electronic materials available. For his time, however, this work was (and is) pure genius.
@EmoState1910 I don't think so. I think people think its pretentious because they don't get it, and they feel the need to attack it, and they've heard people use "pretentious" to insult art before, so they call it that, and they don't even know what it means. I don't think use of a particular technique is inherently pretentious.
It's astonishing the number of people who say how pretentious this is, I suppose they really can't deal with just listening to it and admit it makes them uncomfortable.
These creepy screams remind me The Zone from STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl. If you play first person shooter, I strongly recommend it, very dark and immersive game.
Most music is played, something interesting is heard, then the theory comes out of that. With Stockhausen the theory comes first ,so throw everything out that you know. :)
@PantherFox ha, no i understand "subtlety or artistic expression" But i find this to be complete garbage and about as expressive as a monkey running up and down a piano. I think ill stick with Bach.
What exactly do you think this guy is trying to express through this "music"?
i agree with you in this not being exactly music. But it is a valid form of expression. And it has it's merits, specially when you consider when it was written/produced. Back in 1956 this represented state of the art recording techniques. These techniques have evolved to became actual tools to aid the creation of real music in studios around the world. thatś the value i see in this.
@wariojulio Yes i can see what your saying. But as far as musical skill, as in chord progression, rhythm, harmonizing etc. its lacking. Though I understand it is not trying to be -so to say- traditional. Just not my kind of thing i suppose. I don't think any of his music should be defined as "genius" And i wish the musical "fashion" would go back to baroque for a little bit.
This is like audio nightmare. Talk about fucked up. Too creepy for words. I don't think I can listen to any more

@tapaddtiiiii I'm a dancer and when I'm looking for a music that's what I do, that's how I know if I like a music or not. Listen to sthg you really like, close your eyes and really carefully listen to it...folllow all the little evolutions you can perceive...picture yourself anything the music makes you feel of... You'll know automatically if you like it or not, but you'll never hear the music like anyone else... My teacher used to tell me "connect with yourself" (I hope this helped you...:) )

@TheKomando007 you do have to take into account that Stockhausen thought he was from a planet called Sirius 7. And believed he was abducted by aliens. And was also probed by those aliens on several occasions . . .

I speak about Stockhausen and his admiration of mass murderers.
He has had no one word of compassion to the victims.
And because of that he was in my opinion an old, perverted german nazi, probably fan of holocaust.

american fascists vote for mass murderers like bush and obama.
no idea if they admire them, but they are responsible for these killers.
now they are lucky to kill muslims, but probably they want to destroy the whole planet.

@TheKomando007 read the wikipedia article about Stockhausen, where it is explained that that comment was taken out of the context of previous statements, in which the comment is better understood.

Both Stockhausen's parents were killed by Nazi's - his mother was given a lethal injection dues to Nazi policy of killing "useless eaters". He is fully aware what Right Wing propaganda looks like. It is the art of propaganda. A terrible thing happened and it was capitalized on by interested parties to fortify a nationalist military agenda.

this piece is a land mark in the world of electronic music! Cutting edge to say the least, to construct sounds rather than just record & manipulate them, true genius,
true art in every sense of the word.

"pretentious" is so overused, it is so disgusting and it is so useless to apply here. those who say this type of sound is pretentious are pretentious themselves, they make a big deal out of a tiny argument that has no bearing in reality.

i cant belive that no-one can see how their arguing proves this songs greatness-how many other songs can you think of which divide opinion so much and inspire so much passion on both sides? Also, to those who say there is no skill in making such a song, have you seen the date? 1955. in 1955 the charts was plagued by formulaic 3 chord rock and blues (not all of it was bad but alot was) The sounds and effects created in this music took far more skill to make than a 3 chord song about love

This kind of thing is for people who like cool sounds. Personally I can kind of get into it, but some people are more about chord progressions and melodies or rhythm. It isn't fair to assume that this guy is pretentious because he makes music that you think is strange. Also, telling people they don't like it because they don't understand it is a stupid assumption. Maybe they just don't like it.
ShortenDavid 5 months ago 57
@ShortenDavid There's a difference between insisting that people dislike Stockhausen because they don't understand him and pointing out the unfairness of judging a piece of music without giving any indication of having understood it. Not caring for a piece of music is understandable. Declaring it's meaningless without making any effort to follow it is dismissive. BTW: This music flows directly out of S's background as a rationalist serialist. It *is* about rhythm, melody and counterpoint.

@Fremglerk Sure. Though I think if it was about rhythm, melody or counter point, you would be able to post a video response of you dancing and singing to this song.

I think part of the problem of presenting this work (especially on Youtube) is that the assumption is that composers like Stockhausen had contemporary digital techniques available. Yes, if somebody composed this today (just like the composition of Reich's "It's Gonna Rain" or even introduced the theremin, it would seem pretentious given the extensive scope of electronic materials available. For his time, however, this work was (and is) pure genius.
EmoState1910 6 months ago
@EmoState1910 I don't think so. I think people think its pretentious because they don't get it, and they feel the need to attack it, and they've heard people use "pretentious" to insult art before, so they call it that, and they don't even know what it means. I don't think use of a particular technique is inherently pretentious.

It's cool that you don't understand subtlety or artistic expression through an artistic medium lacking pre-determined rules.

@PantherFox ha, no i understand "subtlety or artistic expression" But i find this to be complete garbage and about as expressive as a monkey running up and down a piano. I think ill stick with Bach.
What exactly do you think this guy is trying to express through this "music"?
atheistrocker100 6 months ago
i agree with you in this not being exactly music. But it is a valid form of expression. And it has it's merits, specially when you consider when it was written/produced. Back in 1956 this represented state of the art recording techniques. These techniques have evolved to became actual tools to aid the creation of real music in studios around the world. thatś the value i see in this.
wariojulio 6 months ago
@wariojulio Yes i can see what your saying. But as far as musical skill, as in chord progression, rhythm, harmonizing etc. its lacking. Though I understand it is not trying to be -so to say- traditional. Just not my kind of thing i suppose. I don't think any of his music should be defined as "genius" And i wish the musical "fashion" would go back to baroque for a little bit.
