CoL49 (3) Music of the future [PC 34, PF 48]

[Robin Landseadel]

Thanks for proving my point. Karlheintz Stockhausen had/has an  
outsized effect on popular music, an influence that far exceeds the  
number of concerts he's performed or records he's sold. I think it  
might be the concept of this sort of music making or new timbers  
available through these compositional methods more than the  
compositions themselves, but the sounds Stockhausen produced was the  
nearest thing to rocket science during the heyday of the space  
program, much like Jimi Hendrix.

Yes to Miles, Yes to Kraftwerk, Yes to the Captain, Yes to Metal  
Machine Music, Yes to Aphex Twin, Yes to the first uses of pure noise  
in musical composition. Stockhausen's effect on music was like a  
supernova, a burst of genius, an effect on other people's music, an  
influence greater than the music itself.
