Well his Klavierstücke (are you appreciating my highly pretentious, obscure use of diacritics and German pluralization?) aren't all of a piece either. I appreciate Klavierstücke V, for instance, but in X, it seems like all foreground melodic and harmonic details are greyed out by constant chromatic saturation, and gestures are lost under a maze of constant activity.

I can see how a minimalist might enjoy something like Stimmung, but Stockhausen and most minimalists are coming from entirely different places aesthetically. Actually, you might almost say they did what they did in reaction to the kind of musical high-modernism embodied by Darmstadt-era Stockhausen.

I'm not aware Palestine has done any musique concrete work.

Well Sor-reee!

Gee, who could have guessed that everyone in the highly pretentious, obscure entertainment thread would end up being such a dick?

Well, I never made the assertion that Stockhausen was a minimalist. The reccomendation was simply in response to Palestine, some of whose works are in a similar vein.

It's hard to make a claim like that without qualifying what kind of minimalism you're talking about. Minimalist compositions have been around for quite some time and if you're talking about many of the modern electronic minimalists, it could be said that they have many influences from Stockhausen and his peers that did some of the early electronic works.

Today I read the Miley Cyrus interview in Parade magazine. Oh wait, I meant to post this in the philistine, anti-intellectual thread! Plz delete! Plz delete!

Today I set up a computer program that uses Miley Cyrus' voice to recite Norman Mailer short fiction.
