Karlheinz Stockhausen: "Kontakte" (electronic music) (1959 - 1960)
This work exists in two forms: a completely electronic version (heard here), and a second version for electronic sounds, piano and percussion.

  • Where the hell have you managed to find this version? Can't find it anywhere....

  • @Thrash0Jazz0Assassin - you can buy this CD from the Stockhausen Verlag. It's CD 3, entitled "Elektronische Musik 1952-1960". It comes with an excellent booklet full of diagrams, photos, and explanations by Stockhausen.

  • i for one do not think this is random experimentation with sound effects this is music because it gives me a feeling and it is made with sound , it does not have a melody nor a beat , but it is still variations of pitch and different sounds that trigger emotion and make me feel a certain way, that to me is music ,I hear music in the calling of birds in a forest and the ocean , when its raining and the sounds of a busy city, music can not be limited by convention

  • first dubstep producer: Stockhausen.

  • This song reminds me of the truth of reality, is reality just from our perspectives or is it from everyone else that we see around us on a regular basis.

  • @TheRiteOfWinter I read that the sound in this piece was created by impulse generators (and I'm pretty sure that an impulse observed in the frequency domain contains sound in all frequencies). The impulses were run through various filters, feedback loops, and reverberations, so it definitely makes sense that what you are hearing is often more noisy than pitched.

  • this is from Transformers movie

  • and I thought Alban Berg was bad...boy was I wrong...

  • @SuperMegaPeanut No no this is much scarier

  • Precioso!!!

  • Recommended to me by Julian Cope.

  • Stockhausen you crazy man
