Stockhausen on 'sounds', 1972


Excerpt from Karlheinz Stockausen's May 1972 lecture to the Oxford Union on 'Four Criteria of Electronic Music'. It proved to be astonshingly priescent. If you like this, get the whole lecture from Stockhausen-Verlang.

Well, I'm trying something new. This is a way of posting directly videos from YouTube into a blog. I never tryed this, so this is my first.
In this video, a young Stockhousen is explaing to an audience the new frame in music, where sound is treated a sound and not as pitch atached to an instrument.
The many options of sound research and manipulation were what this composers where interested into.
This is a great opportunity to listen to a composer so important in 20th Century Contemporary Music. Enjoy!

Es un compositor de contemporanea muy importante, Candela, pero si no estás en el mundillo es muy fácil que no te hayas visto en la tesitura de escucharlo. Suele ocurrir muchísimo eso con los compositores más avanzados, los que no tienen un público melómano tradicional. A los de los conciertos de abono de las orquestas les suelen entrar ciáticas cada vez que programan músicas similares.
Yo tuve la suerte de asistir a conciertos en los que él se dedicaba a controlar la consola de mezclas sólo un puesto delante del mío. Y no quitaba ojo de lo que hacía. Ya era muy mayor y falleció hace unos años.
Para que te hagas una idea, es algo así como un Pollock en pintura o un Cortazar en literatura. Una figura imprescidible del arte del siglo XX.
Si quieres saber más, en su página Web http://www.stockhausen.org/ , en la Wikipedia http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karlheinz_Stockhausen o en YouTube http://www.youtube.com/results?search_type=&search_query=stockhausen&aq=f tendrás la posibilidad de descubrirle. Es difícil acceder a su música sin más, pero merece la pena tras un pequeño esfuerzo.

¡Ah! Bella, un placer tenerte por aquí. Por supuesto que me encantará que me agregues. También haré lo propio contigo. Si abres un apartado de seguidores, allí estaré. Un saludo.
