He was a big spirit, took a lot of courage and intelligence to do what he did, few understood, nevertheless he made his impact!
Respect!!! |

sad news. but he had a long and hopefully
satisfactory life. he certainly had a big impact on (electronic) music.
some years a go i was very fascinated by his
"kontakte" album. got to give it another listen now...

Anybody can recommand his most listenable, or most important work. Some of his is real difficult to listen to. |

I can suggest you to listen to his famous tune "the silence"...20 minutes long...that is a simple and quite enjoyable one.
I think his vision was more important than his music.
music as frequencies and sounds, and silence...instead of notes, notations, orchestra, arrangements.
It's not just an impact on electronic or ambient music...remember Velvet Underground ?
maybe actually he influenced Sonic Youth more than Kraftwerk.

A good friend of mine is a classical composer and told me a story regarding a lecture of Karlheinz Stockhausen's that he attended.... Well, i can't tell the story as well as my friend, but apparently Stockhausen was talking about how melody is a primitive and flawed element of music, so my friend raised his hand to ask Mr. stockhausen if (for example) Beethoven, Wagner, or Bach were wrong to write their music the way they did. So Karlheinz said "yes, they were all flawed" and then proceeded to tell his audience that he came to earth from the star system Sirius with the purpose of aiding the advancement of the human species through his music and his ideas about music.
Weird, huh? Add this one as a supplement to the Dogon mystery.... |

Bach and co where great, but of course they were flawed. And yes Karlheinz was from Sirius.

oooo, found a good quote!
“That’s a very interesting question. I think that the solar system in which we live now, here - you and me -, has a certain influence on us, as long as we live here, and that all the rhythms and the magnetism between the moons and the planets and revolutions and rhythms of the nine planets around the sun, and the quality of the sun, and the vibrations coming from the sun, cause what you call ‘the spirituality’, which means it is never the less limited to our solar system. As you have just quoted before, the fact that someone says: ‘I think I come from Sirius’, is outside of our solar system; something else. What happens in my work ‘Sirius’, where it says that 200 000 000 suns are rotating around Sirius, means that already a large part of our galaxy is rotating around Sirius. Most of the terrestrials, who live here now, are not interested in that, so the spirituality is always related to how far you see, and how much you feel being a particle of the Universe of Universes. You see, there are certain spirits – and I belong to them – who think that there are at least 700 000 universes at the same time, in different time-layers, and completely different spaces; not comparable to our concept of space, so I think music, which is related to a Super-Universe, sounds very different than music which is only related to rhythms of this planet and to the parameters of everything we can distinguish of this planet. Spirituality is not one spirituality, but there are many spiritualities, depending on where you live.”
