It's interesting to see Karlheinz on film. Part of the interest of buying Stockhausen records over the years was always the mystical state of extreme inspiration and exploration invariably on his face in a photo or two, a little like Captain Kirk only the Enterprise was his brain(the other added bonus was always his written explanations).It's interesting to see here he's not always pulling those faces,seems more normal,human,regular,I've found the internet usually has that leveling effect.

Geez, laurion, you've become quite the troll!And since when has music intended to be pretty? Music is music, regardless of how cute it is.This argument always makes me think of a line from Allen Ginsberg's "After Lalon": "If I had a soul, I sold it for pretty words..."

nice lag. makes me think about sight and sound and its relevance to the corrections the mind produces concerning light.

Sh*t....they must have had some serious sh*t growing or being made in the 70's !!He has clearly been OD'ing on it for too long

Many talks, very little music.And that little music is also ugly.

Surprisingly down to earth, and some of it actually seems quite quaint to 21st century ears.Nowadays anyone can find a WAV of an electric drill or lion on the internet, sample records or CDs, add echo/overdrive/flange to the cello and slap bass that come as standard with music-making software, buy a microphone for a fiver, and manipulate and edit it all until it sounds good.Now even punk seems elitist - to be in a punk band you need a mate that can afford a drum kit.

Yes, but if you do some actual studying you'll soon mature enough to see how this talk relates to his "Licht" cycle.It is the keystone to his entire output.
