  • Stockhausen would be sickened at such retardation being commented on his music.

  • @richtomes

    Most people don't have the same profound training and knowledge about tradition like you have (lol)

    You should have tried to convince great performers like Rattle, Pollini, Bernstein, Kremer, Boulez, Mutter, Abbado, Gould and many others that they enjoy disfunctional simplistic music that lacks fundamental skills.

    I'm surprised that you never wonder yourself who really lacks fundamental musical training.

  • @Plexpara Actually, he wasn't nearly the first to do things like this. Look up Pierre Schaffer, John Cage, Edgard Varese....

  • MOOG !

  • Lennon took his inspiration for Revolution # 9 from this as well as Cage.

  • @PowerRedBull: Familiarize yourself with the history of Western music from Wagner to Webern to Stockhausen and you'll learn how controlled and non-random Hymnen is. It takes Wagner's principle of constant modulation to the extreme. KS had to work hard to introduce aleatoric techniques into his music (which he did to make it less rigid), but the principle of all his previous integral serialist music is *non-repetition*. Variation is not randomness and repetition is not necessarily organization.

  • One thing worse than a crowd of drunks in a football stadium.

    A crowd of drunken aliens in a football stadium.

  • @Arthurein : it is called evolution.... this album is from the 60's, so 40+ years old !!! it was only made of samples, the first in his genrre even years before dj shadows' endtroducing !!! it has got nothing to do with the things your say....okey it's very eclectic, but please open your mind !!

  • .......number eight *BEURK!* number eight *BEURK!* number eight *BEURK!*........

  • Guys, I'd really like to know how to appreciate this music appropiately.

    I'm a big fan of Kraftwerk, Daft Punk, Front 242, Justice... But I simply don't get this strange-scary-ear destroying thing.

    Can someone help me?

  • @HelgeOldieGuy867:
