This guy knows what he is doing. I thought maybe his lectures would be from Planet Sirius, but it is perfectly down-to-earth, and based on the science of signal processing.
8:36 "To synthesize a sound you have to start with something more basic" 11:15 (1) THE UNIFIED TIME STRUCTURING: "Suppose you take a recording of a Beethoven symphony on tape and speed it up" 13:17 "I recorded individual pulses from an impulse generator" 15:40 "What is perceived as rhythm from a certain perspective"
This lecture sparked my life long fascination with fourier resynthesis, and my eventual goal of collapsing the analysis of input signals into frequency/amplitude vectors into a practically real-time operation, using GPU processing.
I never said it was going to be easy. I just want to explore the possibilities of what happens, when you have sufficient computing power to do both fourier analysis and manipulation on a real-time scale.
I had the good fortune to attend a concert at Fresno State of a series of his orchestral works. Stockhausen's concept of transforming traditional orchestral instruments into a synthesized electronic "entity", for lack of a better description. Cellos through ring modulators; oboes through wave oscillators; horizontal quagullators patched into chrome covered conicullators... marvellous. More electricians and audio technicians than musicians
I hope he was doing his electronic sound experiments in a remote gothic castle in the Black Forest with only his faithful retainers who saw to his mundane daily nerds, keeping him safe from the intrusions of the unknowing world.. Lights burning in the windows of the high tower where he worked long into the night, with all kinds of rumours and speculations flourishing in the local village.
Goethe of 20th century German music! He's talking about colors of sounds as a scientist which Goethe was in his colours treatise. There is something German romantic in the emphasis on the colour of the sound and its liveliness. Is this why he's wearing this Werter-like coat and shirt?
anyone who thinks electronic music is any lesser of a form than any type of acoustic music needs to watch this. they should realize that electronic music evolved directly from classical music.
Yeah, just about all music is derived from classical music.... These are real sounds recorded, arranged, and played back.... not just random button pushing to trigger digital samples. Anybody can go into GarageBand/fruityloops etc and plug in a bunch of samples that they didn’t actually make. Very, very few “electronic” artists are impressive. Stockhausen actually did it all with the help of real musicians and recording equipment, not just some apple program. Especially here in 1972
Anyone know more about the 3 days and 3 nights ritual in Japan - sounds like he says "Omitatori" (18:35) or something, and I can't find anything about it online. Would be great to read up on it
You can't speed a wave or vibration up without transposing it, shortening its wavelength, the Pinky and Perky effect; that's the physics. Once we get out of the ear register, we get to vibration, light, which is interesting since he wrote a composition called Light. Perhaps he should have written it in visual or film form! At the speed of light, time stands still- and that's the end of music. [I define music loosely as succession; that means music is just the temporal. Can we call it Beethoven if a symphony is reduced to one second?]
bin don Actually, since we're being willfully obtuse, you can't speed a wave up at all. It will travel at whatever its speed in that medium is regardless of what you do.
i thinck thats the most crazy music ever. I still dont like it. But his passion is absolutely ispinring. It has something from Da Vici if you pay attention. LIke many guy of this era, we can admire the man but not be emoted by their music. There is some rare situations where it could be nice to hear it. THere is indeed a movie who people try to in crease their happiness with machines, u thinck the music is influenced by that... Renen Allain?

These lectures are pure gold. The world could be much more beautiful, if electronic music producers consider teachings of Stockhausen.

It's before his contact with Urantia, xD.
Thank you for sharing this.
It really is a life changing moment to listen this.

+tschak909 that's easy for you to say... ;-)

sounds interesting do you have a website?
How is it going for you?
nice..maybe next time try playing music:)
Food for my brain 🔊🧠
incredible aura and good knowledge, especially for how old this footage is
After Webern my new obsession is Stockhausen. I love him!!
like a lost transmission, newly received. fantastic.

This is amazing; thank you for uploading!
there we are
Wow, this is a gem! Thank you for uploading it!

Essential lecture! Thanks for sharing!
Incredible footage - thank you for sharing absolute gems! Cheers
Damn this stuff is trippy. Love it!
This never gets old
Fascinating. His English is immaculate also. Very intelligent man.
Sem palavras demais
Wow he is so clear
one of the all time greatest composers of all
Grande Maestrus Stockhausen¡
Really interesting, thanks for the upload.
Thank you Tomas!
still love it!!
Somehow I get the sense that Mr. Stockhausen may have dug seeing Sunn O))) live.
Fascinating ... absolute pioneer. But oh those days before PowerPoint....( see 48.50 )

Yes I noticed this very tailored look which is reminiscent of something I might have seen in connection with Goethe.
gracias tomas por el aporte ¡¡¡¡ :)

Ben Richards No one says that.
they do they do
I've seen a punk rock fan talking about how non instrumental music is just pressing buttons and needs no talent.
loooololololol
Oh yeah but you can't go around listening to idiots :D

This lecture is sampled in the song 17th & Hitt by Sea of Evenings. seaofevenings.bandcamp.com/track/17th-hitt
28:11 = drawing and description
genius and prophet
Wow
beautiful drawing at 29:24
absolutely! I agree, always a captivating moment from these lectures for me
'Slow Magic - Music' brought me here
46:44
If Rik Mayall and Christopher Hitchens had a love child.
Love this lol 😂

It's Omizutori, see in p. 93 of the transcript: monoskop.org/images/c/c3/Stockhausen_Karlheinz_1972_1989_Four_Criteria_of_Electronic_Music.pdf
Oh you mean Paulstretch.
It's just too sad that my English is not good enough to understand every word of his...
+relike868p Don't worry I'm English and I can't understand it

I'm not denying the fact that he's a legend of music, but his terminology seems unnecessarily technical
He’s just being German lol
I want his coat.
"polyphonic beings"
wow
put this on your walkman, then come check out Gag-bit Vinyl in Bushwick NYC for 80s/post punk/new wave B-)
!!!!!!!!!
omg, i can see where Mr Bean got his moves from.
creep lecture
