Karlheinz Stockhausen must be one of must boring musicians (if we can call him that) on this planet. Yeah, he received some fancy prizes and stuff like that, but I dare any of you to listen to any of his recordings non stop.
It's just the way it works with famous artists/composers: their image and their stature seldom is about their music only. Stockhausen is one of those de facto "great" people: interesting, artistic, difficult, ... Not all music is there to ENJOY, at least not for the general public. But at least he's a source of ideas and inspiration for other people. He got things done, got funds together for equipment and (a) studio(s) (at WDR in Cologne?) so other people got to learn. And still! See his home page, at 70 he's a rather active fellow, still getting things DONE! http://www.stockhausen.org/ Rick Jansen __ rja@euronet.nl http://www.euronet.nl/~rja ____________________________________________ S&H's a module and s&h's looking good
