This is so interesting, serious electronic work and an abstract fantasia, those vocals are incredible here....

I know it's a bit of an aside, but any time someone brings up Stockhausen I get excited. Stockhausen is amazing. I love everything about that man and his work. Have you read about how he got blackballed for referring to 9/11 as "The first great artwork of the 21st century"? Takes a seriously liberated and high concept mind to think and speak that way. I don't think the folks that were angry at him for that really understood his mindset.

Haha, I've never heard the 9/11 thing, that's certainly not mainstream thinking! He's definitely visionary though, one of my remixes for the trilogy is of Kontake, a great piece. I love the way he combines and process acoustic and electronic sounds and creates a whole new world of sound...

Copied from Wikipedia:

In a press conference in Hamburg on 16 September 2001, Stockhausen was asked by a journalist whether the characters in Licht were for him "merely some figures out of a common cultural history" or rather "material appearances". The composer replied, "I pray daily to Michael, but not to Lucifer. I have renounced him. But he is very much present, like in New York recently" (Stockhausen 2002, 76). The same journalist then asked how the events of 11 September had affected him, and how he viewed reports of the attack in connection with the harmony of humanity represented in Hymnen. He answered:

"Well, what happened there is, of course—now all of you must adjust your brains—the biggest work of art there has ever been. The fact that spirits achieve with one act something which we in music could never dream of, that people practise ten years madly, fanatically for a concert. And then die. [Hesitantly.] And that is the greatest work of art that exists for the whole Cosmos. Just imagine what happened there. There are people who are so concentrated on this single performance, and then five thousand people are driven to Resurrection. In one moment. I couldn't do that. Compared to that, we are nothing, as composers. [...] It is a crime, you know of course, because the people did not agree to it. They did not come to the "concert". That is obvious. And nobody had told them: "You could be killed in the process." (Stockhausen 2002, 76–77)

His own daughter, a renowned pianist in her own right, refused to perform under the name "Stockhausen" any more after those comments. A damn shame.

He totally conceptualised it there! Took the humanity out of it completely. You'd need to understand a little about him to see where he's coming from and not be offended...

Yeah... People around that time were real "knee-jerk" and emotional in their reactions to anyone who didn't fall in line... I'm glad I wasn't old enough to see and understand how changed the world was, overnight. I imagine it was more than a little terrifying.
