. . . in Memory of an old Friend: Karlheinz Stockhausen 22.08.1928 - 05.12.2007
"And when they encounter works of art which show that using new media can lead to new experiences and to new consciousness,
and expand our senses, our perception, our intelligence, our sensibility, then they will become interested in this music."
"Stockhausen believed in giving his performers great liberty and range and often imposed ritualistic tasks to them.
His use of instrumental and industrial tone is a labyrinth of the unexpected: compositions for groups of loudspeakers,
exercises in music-theatre which last for 12 nights, works for orchestra, sine-wave generators and ring modulators:
bizarre yes, but a brilliant employment of time, space, electronics and cadence. His combined works have assembled the
techniques of all 20th century music styles into a synthesis of dramatic genius that is truly a new musical language.
In fact his achievements in “new” types of music resulted in countless modernistic and unfamiliar forms such as Point
Music, Aleatoric Music, Ritual Music, Process Composition, Octophonic Music, Intuitive Music or Cosmic Music – all and
much more stemming from the mind of a man whose research covered a landscape of science, technology, religion, cosmology,
mysticism and even extraterrestialism. An entire work, for example, is dedicated to the mystical star Sirius!"
