Just played some beats in iTunes and streamed the excerpts from the website. Nice fit Teef

Will check out this guy, although I struggled a fair while with Stockhausen's complete works, but then decided to erase them after half a year of not getting what his music's actually about. Knowing that Messiaen was his mentor is not exactly a good indicator Hahaha but I'll try my best Xyxthumbs

Messiaen is nothing like Stockhausen Wink, nor anyone else either, and his teaching style was to encourage his pupils to seek their own vision

as for Stockhausen, listen to the electronic/electro-acoustic stuff works: Gesang der Junglinge, Hymnen, Kontakte, Mikrophonie, Telemusik... Xyxthumbs

Yes, liked it. Since I didn't know the piece before I didn't really follow all the complexities of the composition but let it just sink in and it worked quite well as méditation. Also the physical sensation of sitting near a big organ and hearing/feeling sound as volumes of air pushed through the room out of large pipes as opposed to just loudspeaker membranes was quite interesting.

I never actually did this. And I'm currently having to contend with hackers moving the contents of my system drive about so that it's less and less no matter what I do.
hackers? Eek

Sounds good Statto. Dead link though. Even on a PC. I'll reload the page.
