hi

My former music teacher used to learn from him.  Some
of the stories are amazing.  For example he told me
how they used to have many tape loops stretched the
length of a big hall and play them.  The tape cutting
techniques they used sound so tedious, using thousands
of splices and joining them (does anybody no what the
average amount of splices were for the first detroit
stuff). Aparently they would splice lots of
prerecorded tape and stick them all on the wall and
then randomly put it back togeather. The first synths
they used were as big as whole rooms.  
Personly i find stockhausens music damn scary but very
interesting.
My teacher said the last thing he heard that
stockhausen was working on was a 24 hour oprah.

Crazy!!!!!
