well ... i like joe meek as well & as i know by now that u have about 370 songs or trax by him , jan , i suppose that we should come together & produce a 2 ( or even more !? ;-) hours "joe meek special" for one of my own radio shows !!! *G+* ;-) okay ... seriously , what do u think about it , jan ??? *pure_curiosity*
Well, let's see ... In august 1962 Joe released his biggest hit single TELSTAR. The 40th anniverary seems to be a good occasion...
changin' the topic to "stockhausen vs. sala" ...
and finally he asked the journalists not to use the material.
*LOL* ;-))) as if ANY true journalist could have resisted that temptation & would refrain from doin' JUS'_THIS_!!! *still_LOL* ;-))) btw : i would have done the same , simply because who uttered such a nonsense in public also has to face the consequences of it , sorry !!!
Maybe it's naive. But believe me: Stockhausen IS naive. He is VERY naive. Maybe he's too naive for today's media society. Maybe he's too naive to see through some poor journalists obsessed with an image neurosis. Or let me put it this way: Most of us are talking crap sometimes (as this mailing list shows from time to time). And IMHO everybody has the right not to be confronted over and over with the crap he talked in one weak moment - all the more, if he himself concedes it was crap.
well ... i suppose that even "a musical genius" as mr. stockhausen could learn some things from time to time !? *slyest_grin* ;-)))
I think he has...
p. s. : has stockhausen EVER used or tried to use subharmonic sounds in one of his "werks" , jan ??? *pure_curiosity*
The tone colours he used in his early compositions were not a result of his personal pleasure or displeasure. He expanded the twelve-tone techniques of composition into a system of composing tone colours, and he did this by using sine waves (following the Fourier theory, which would include the use of subharmonic sounds). So the tone colours in his compositions are not chosen, they are result of a compositional process. Because this has to be controlled very precisely, he decided to use tone generators and tape machines.
wouldn't that be interestin' for him to use those possibilities of the mixturetrautonium for one of his compositions ??? *jus'_curious* ;-)
Simply I don't know. The first four volumes of Stockhausen's "Texte zur Musik" mentions neither Sala nor the Trautonium. What I know is that the Electronic Studio of WDR was equipped with a monochord constructed in 1953 by Trautwein and Meyer-Eppler, but no one there was interested in playing it, so it went onto the attic. jan -- feel free to visit http://reetze.bei.t-online.de email: dasfestistzuendeaus@yahoo.de _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
