Stockhausen's Stimmung
'I am not making "My Music" but transcribing the vibrations I receive. I am a radio receiver...' 'Play a vibration in the rhythm of your smallest particle. Play a vibration in the rhythm of the universe...'
These statements come from the German composer Karlheinz Stockhausen, who, like the astrologists, believes that we are now leaving the age of the intellect and entering a spiritual age, where the accent will fall on the intuitive. To him, the composer is a kind of prophet, leading us towards a higher consciousness. In Review Stockhausen talks about his music, with excerpts from Stimmung ('Atmosphere') which has been described as one of the great landmarks of Western music.
A Tale of Istanbul

Tonight they present part of their production.
