Karlheinz Stockhausen - Stimmung

[Highno]

You must be trollin'......

This sounds like a collective messed up LSD-Trip oO

[winnipeg43]

This song gives people brain damage

[coasterman16]

This sounds like Meredith Monk's music.

I used to own a letter Stockhausen wrote to me many years ago when I tried to get a performance of Stimmung together in L.A. in the mid 1970s. We ultimately gave up. As KS said, “We (Collegium Vocale Köln) rehearsed for a year, and we knew it wasn’t perfect.”

You can still buy the CVK recording on his website.

It was first performed at the Osaka World’s Fair. To give the right atmosphere, it should be heard in near-darkness. Thanks for posting!

@adordunio1

I know two teachers that contacted Stockhausen asking him if he could send the score and the cd with electronic and concrete parts of a composition (I don't remeber which one). Stockhausen replied they had to rehearse for a year, then come to Vienna and play for his daughter. They gave up..!

@adordunio1 I was lucky enough to hear Singcircle perform this in Lisbon. It was the best concert I ever atended.

Why the Jesus pictures, dude

[sousukesagaraJKD]

@flipmanja

I put a lot of pictures of different kind of religions.

[feedphillipnow]

@flipmanja Why questions the jesus pictures? Dude.

Who cares :)

[Egregore999]

The first pic is truly amazing. Where did you get it?

[Xanekros]

@Egregore999

It's the Las Lajas Sanctuary, Colombia. Yes, truly amazing!

[parkgrubbs4]

I'm not saying this is crap but if it's crap it's crap, who cares how old it is?

[Xanekros]

@parkgrubbs4

If someone can't understand the oriental culture that's not a problem of the oriental culture but a problem of that single man. Usually our mind tends to make us feel something totally new as "wrong" but it's only a matter of habit. Moreover you can't judge the "beauty" of a music, that is subjective. You can only judge its complexity and cleverness.

Maybe someday you'll understand that monarchy has fallen and there is no Emperor.

[mamp71]

This noice is like the story in the Emperor´s New Clothes....if you do not see it then you are an idiot......come on, folks.....this is a load of crap!!!

[Xanekros]

@mamp71

Congratulations for insulting the thousand years old Buddhist and Tibetan singing. I assume you have solid basis for your judgement. Sorry grandad, you're way too old for this music. Now go play with your friends and don't write stupid comments on youtube.

What recording is this?

[ptose]

curiosità, che castello è quello nella prima immagine?

[Xanekros]

@ptose

E' il Santuario de Las Lajas, in Colombia :)

[champalou]

I have this very rare record from the singcircle

[Urantianow]

gulp

[lunkhead57]

I accidentally player "blindsided" by bon ivor along with this and they kind of went pretty well.

[quiffsthebanana]

We studied this piece today and gave the first two "modelle" a try...pretty awesome!

[Xanekros]

I am interested in the score and how it must be studied. Could you please give me some information? :)

[maxo65]

KHS RULES!

[sousukesagaraJKD]

E hai proprio ragione! :)

[wernvilla]

pissed myself today when i heard this in my music lesson!! I was in tears of laughter!! :P

[Xanekros]

are you into drugs?

[Bolenderable]

@wernvilla

Don't tell me: You listen to Lady Ga Ga with a poker face.

[nvbaileys]

@wernvilla I understand where you're coming from, genius makes me laugh too!

[thymurdock]

So is each singer basically just sounding out one note, but due to the tightness of the overtone between each note it makes a weird rhythm?

[sousukesagaraJKD]

Yeah, the beats are generated with this kind of tricks :)

[thymurdock]

freakin mindblowing!

[sousukesagaraJKD]

Mr S. rocks!

[AndreasBennetzen]

I just saw the piece live yesterday with "Theatre of voices". Amazing music it´s approx 75 min long. Go see it if you have the chance!

[knytil]

I was there too. It was very very fascinating! Seeing it live it definitely recommended.

[groslucas]

Osama Bin Laden said Stockhausen is the only kafir who understands him... 911 was not political but a deadly and sophisticated piece of art...only stockhausen was able to conceptualize that!

Stimmung is a pure beauty....why talking all taking all the time of Mickael Jackson and forgetting our master karlheinz

[sousukesagaraJKD]

Stockhausen was totally out of his mind, but his first works are really amazing! It's quite obvious that people prefer Michael Jackson, this is not something simply to appreciate.

[Dalmatian]

si ma un indicazione sugli esecutori?:/

[sousukesagaraJKD]

Sto cercando di capirlo. Credo sia quella fatta dal Collegium Vocale Köln ma non ne sono sicuro...! :(

[killamanmankilla]

This video has perfect imagery for the body of the work, and great choice on the recording!

[sousukesagaraJKD]

Thanks! I like religions, even if I'm agnostic I think they're fascinating and this work is a long invocation to many gods of different cultures :)

[killamanmankilla]

Cheers to a long invocation to many gods of different cultures!

[plasnu]

Thanks

[sousukesagaraJKD]

You're welcome :)

molto meditativa :-)
