German composer Stockhausen is dead – Yahoo! News
Stockhausen’s electronic compositions are a radical departure from musical tradition and incorporate influences as varied as psychology, the visual arts and the acoustics of a particular concert hall.
I was never a big fan of Stockhausen from a listener’s perspective — his work isn’t very accessible — but it’s definitely the root of everything we do as electronic musicians, and I have a lot of respect for him.
Karl and Bob Moog are probably hanging out somewhere now, irritating people with magic synthesizers.
