	Stockhausen (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Stockhausen is arguably the central figure of modernist and postmodernist composition in the latter third of the 20th century.
		Among the trends and ideas with which Stockhausen has been associated are total serialism (in the wake of his study with Messiaen), electronic composition, chance composition, free-form notation, exploring the continuous relationship between timbre and pitch and rhythm, world music, positioning sounds in space...
		Stockhausen frequently strives to produce something no one has heard before, and manages many new sonorities often in conjuction with world or "cosmic" music, although the underlying serialism (which has its own characteristic "sound" to me) is frequently evident.

	Stockhausen at 70, Through the Looking Glass - by Robin Maconie
		Stockhausen's willingness to be diverted, however subversive it may seem to an academic observer, is in fact a key to his superior achievement as a composer.
		Stockhausen was building on what he had originally intended for Kontakte: a relationship of tape as database to musicians as independent operators able to select, imitate, and freely combine musical tones and gestures continuously available on tape.
		Stockhausen's adoption of national anthems for the tape of Hymnen could therefore be seen as a device to provide his soloists (and audience) with easily recognisable materials of a kind that classically-trained musicians would find more congenial for free imitation and development in musical conversation.

	Klang Technik, Karlheinz Stockhausen
		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.

		Stockhausen made his first trip to the US in 1958, a journey which triggered a new relaxation in his music attributed largely to the influence of John Cage.
		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.

		Stockhausen, 73, was banned from giving four concerts in Hamburg, Germany after he reportedly described the suicide attacks on New York as "the greatest work of art ever".
		Stockhausen, one of Germany's best-known post-war composers, reportedly said: "That minds accomplish in one act something that we in music can't dream of, that people rehearse like mad for 10 years - totally fanatically - for a concert and then die - that's the greatest work of art there is in the entire cosmos."

		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.
