Karlheinz Stockhausen (Copyright 2001 Nadav Dafni)

Stockhausen, Karlheinz

A 20th century composer, who, at the beginning of his career, wrote in Schoenberg's twelve-tone technique, but later turned to electronic music, produced by electric means and by electronic instruments. The concrete music (composed of recorded sounds) he had learned from Boulez, attracted him, and he developed a technique based on sound points and sound groups.

Stockhausen found himself influenced by the ideas and philosophy of the East, and composed controversial music, interesting however, like the "Hymns" ("Hymnen") or the hypnotic "Stimmung", performed by 6 singers singing the same chord for more than an hour, with changes in timbre and volume.
