	Karlheinz Stockhausen
		Stockhausen’s mother was institutionalized in the early thirties and subsequently died (probably not of natural causes, as the Nazis were not adverse to killing the mentally ill).
		Stockhausen’s early works, such as Kreuzspiel and Formel (both written in 1951) are examples of the common Darmstadt fascination with applying the twelve-tone method associated with the Second Viennese School to elements of music other than pitch, such as rhythm, articulation, and dynamics.
		Stockhausen quickly moved on from this “total serialism” to consider the manner in which material is organized within pieces, concentrating on the proportions between groups of ideas and not just the constituents of those ideas.

		Upon returning to Cologne, Stockhausen continued his pursuits, achieving his first significant breakthrough with 1956's Gesang der Jünglinge -- composed for vocal and synthesized sounds, it was among the first tape-loop pieces ever assembled.
		By the mid-'60s, Stockhausen's immersion in electronics was almost total, and in late 1964 he assembled a touring ensemble to premiere his latest composition, Mikrophonie I, a work inspired by his recent discovery of the limitless variety of sounds to be gotten from any instrument in conjunction with microphones and electrical filters.
		With the following Stimmung, Stockhausen's aim of universalization took a different tactic, with its performers pitching their voices to a series of natural harmonics; these works, in addition to 1968's Aus den sieben Tagen, served to gradually eliminate the concept of notation, with the ultimate goal of truly intuitve musical creation.

	The Ensemble Sospeso - Karlheinz Stockhausen
		Stockhausen's explorations of fundamental psychological and acoustical aspects of music were highly independent and remarkably free of outside influences.
		Stockhausen also began using tape recorders and other machines in the 1950s to analyze and investigate sounds through the electronic manipulation of their fundamental elements, sine waves.
		In general, Stockhausen's works are composed of a series of small, individually characterized units, either "points" (individual notes), "groups" of notes, or "moments" (discrete musical sections), each of which can be enjoyed by the listener without forming part of a larger dramatic line or scheme of musical development.

		Stockhausen's electroacoustic work Gesang der Jünglinge was composed after an initial period of experimentation by composers in the new medium, which was immediately followed by a longer period of critical evaluation.
		Stockhausen's original concept was that of bringing together in a single texture electronic and sung materials, considering speed, length, dynamics, density, width of intervals and timbre as parameters that could then be manipulated according to serial principles.
		Stockhausen, defining statistical form: "In the genesis of the statistical forms, I tried to mediate between groups and points on one hand, and between collectives organized according to the laws of large numbers, on the other.

	Karlheinz Stockhausen
		Karlheinz Stockhausen works very hard, and is fastidious in his preparations for performances of his music (he has been known to check every cable connection in person), so it was notable that this performance should start 30 minutes behind schedule.
		In his introduction to Oktophonie, Stockhausen avoided reference to the opera, and instead concentrated on the bare essentials of the music – how it consists of a melody stretched over 69 minutes; how he was able to compose the inner structures of the electronic sounds.
		Stockhausen received the applause with evident gratitude and generosity, and a certain wry smile that suggested his pleasure in triumphing over these primitive working conditions.

	Stockhausen Kurzwellen (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Stockhausen comments on the material used, in relation to the composition (from the booklet to CD 13):
		This is a powerful choral work (and excellently recorded) in which a text is sung that was written by Stockhausen in 1968 and in which also the work KURZWELLEN is mentioned.
		The specific implementation of short-wave sounds, combined with the instruments used and the way they respond to, mimic and transform these sounds, results in both a sound world and a musical architecture that are most original.

		There is a certain problem in approaching Stockhausen, and that is precisely the extent to which he has already and obsessively charted his theoretical and artistic progress in lectures, notes and, above all, in interviews.
		The canon is never static; Stockhausen is an almost fantastically meticulous reviser and rehearser of his own composition, and he is now faced with the irony that some of his early important tape pieces are deteriorating rapidly, without the back-up of a realisation score to allow them to be perpetuated.
		Stockhausen doesn't risk this piece of "park music" for five groups en plein air any more, but he does appear to be a little wry at his surroundings.

		The young Stockhausen was sent out at nights to mind the cows, where he would lie in the snow and watch the stars.
		At a first encounter, the music Stockhausen created often seems to be abstract and cerebral, a mathematics of rhythm and pitch, but a close reading of the biography reveals an emotional aspect, a humanity struggling to come to the surface, even if it has to be in code.

	Stockhausen, Karlheinz
		To Webern's theory of presenting the notes of the chromatic scale in series, Stockhausen added the serial ordering of other musical dimensions, such as volume, duration, and tone color.
		He expanded Webern's concept of points of interest to what he termed "group composition," in which several groups of materials, each having its own character, are linked together, sometimes leaving the order of presentation to the performer, as in Klavierstuck XI (1956).
		Stockhausen's imaginative use of electronic and acoustic materials and elements of chance has produced such innovative works as Gruppen (1955-57), Telemusic (1966), Autumn Music (1974), and Michael's Youth (1978-79).

	Karlheinz Stockhausen (1928)
		Stockhausen is one of the biggest innovators and pioneers of modern music in Europe, who effectively used every technological means in order to promote the modern music to new directions, directions more effective and more "genuinely" artistic in relation to our epoch.
		Stockhausen was the first to be directed towards the idiom that considers music as a transformation of densities, timbres and textures that can be controlled by statistical means, and that this process by itself can give birth to new, original, "open" or accidental forms.
		Stockhausen's work is based on a series of proposals about the material of sound and how we can act upon it.
