[maxmsp] [OT]/Fwd: Karlheinz Stockhausen 1928 - 2007

The music of Stockhausen was an eye(well, ear)-opener for me when I  
was 18 and involved in experimental new wave(for lack of a better  
term). I thought I was doing really advanced stuff on my little Korg  
MS-20.
KH had already done it all. In the 50-ties. With extremely basic  
equipment. and lots of German stubborness.
