Excerpt from Karlheinz Stockausen's May 1972 lecture to the Oxford Union on 'Four Criteria of Electronic Music'. It proved to be astonshingly priescent. If you like this, get the whole lecture from Stockhausen-Verlang. http://www.stockhausen.org/vid...

You must assign your own meaning to our enigmatic existence.

Heheheh, whoops. Strike the 'no'.

No. There are two conditions in composition: structural determinants, however intuitively felt/comprehended, and stylistic capacity.

There is no structure to the cosmos. More than this is not necessary.

Stockausen is typical of an academic pursing REVOLOTIONARY CHANGE BUT ACHIEVING ONLY GRADUAL CHANGE. Objective analysis shows a snail pace in music and in hard science. Copernicus with the heliocentirc universe and so on. The well tempered tuning is only some 300 years old. Persons are not even aware of chords over the seventh. It is still possible to argue such as non-harmonic embellishments versus 9,11,13. Great Lecture!

Great Maestro, your abstruse music was so beutiful, that your son has taken to compose and to play a kind of movie-easy-jazz with his trumpet... Ah! Ah! Ah! :-)

mmm actually that kind of vision is not new. reminds me of plato, leibniz, hegel and the pythagoreans. philosophy of any kind tends to be arrogant.

he only makes assumptions about, that a sound of a door slamming (saying "any sound") might have a symphony enclosed, releasing it when stretched into an enormous amount of time, without giving details about where his theorys rely on. sounds to me like hes keeping the "unilluminated" public dumb while praising himself as the new superhuman (along with a very few others of course), him being the music hero of our times.

lol, he's being all "I studied this" and "investigated that" but doesnt say ANYTHING scientific or useable in this whole 10 min clip ("yes, you can use white noise, like the color and transform it into colord noise like the wind by applying 'filters' (aha, how?), but what is important that I studied these books (which books?) which say... bla bla (lol?)").
