Karlheinz Stockhausen And I'll never forget the first time I took the possibility to project sound every day for six or seven hours with special devices which were built for me. Karlheinz Stockhausen And I'm always interested when other musicians are trying to discover new worlds of sound. Karlheinz Stockhausen And the invention of transformations of certain figures has become the most important in musical composition. Karlheinz Stockhausen 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. Karlheinz Stockhausen But being quiet and meditating on sound is something completely different and will be discovered very soon by a lot of people who feel that the visual world doesn't reach their soul anymore. Karlheinz Stockhausen But I'm an adventurer. I like invention, I like discovery. Karlheinz Stockhausen But since the middle of the century in particular, the music has become very irregular in rhythm. Karlheinz Stockhausen I became aware that all sounds can make meaningful language. Karlheinz Stockhausen I have composed several pieces which are performed outdoors, not only in the auditoria.

Karlheinz Stockhausen One experiments and has to choose always the best results. Karlheinz Stockhausen Or in other works I have also projected the sound in a cube of loudspeakers. The sound can move vertically and diagonally at all speeds around the public. Karlheinz Stockhausen Or the other process that is important is that I compress longer sections of composed music, either found or made by myself, to such an extent that the rhythm becomes a timbre, and formal subdivisions become rhythm. Karlheinz Stockhausen Repetition is based on body rhythms, so we identify with the heartbeat, or with walking, or with breathing. Karlheinz Stockhausen Schaeffer gave me permission to work in the studio with a technician, but I've never worked with him. Karlheinz Stockhausen |
