  • Music of the future... Maybe my grandsons will love it.

  • I can't help but think that 'ride of the valkyries' would have been more appropriate...

  • wow beeindruckend.. kreativ, mutig, innovativ, dadaistisch.. gefällt mir

  • It was hard for me to swallow this too. But I read something about the composer, I listened almost all of his works and I read some of his articles. And now I love him. Maybe he is from Sirius, as he stated. Sirius is on his tomb also. If it is true we are those who have to work with ourselves to change our way of perception. Ears and mind are unappropriate to listen music. Try some heart and spine.

  • Interesting in concept...unpleasant in reality. It just confuses the senses for me, hardly enjoyable.

    (I was linked to it, I didn't search it out myself.)

  • whow did he convince someone to give him 4 helicopters? thats what i want to know!

  • This is kind of subtly brilliant, if you decide to search for some connections. Man's inventions, his machines, the noises they produce... the noise of a violin is traditionally elegant, the noise of a helicopter: not so. When you attempt to parallel them in a similar fashion... you get an interesting idea about what "music"' is and how man attempts to create and characterize it in relation to sound. I feel like Duchamp would compose a piece like this, if he dabbled in music... Vive Dada!

  • Stockhausen should have taken a shit in a coffee can and filmed it. It would have made for better music than this.

  • @redhotchiliangel might be true this is music of the future great art but we need to open our mind to get there

  • german string players in blackhawk helicopters... how did i get here?

  • 10 justin bieber and 10 stockhausen song at the same time
