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

Thanks Peter, I always had a hate/love relationship with his music, yet
loved his polemic, innovative and uncompromising approach. "Gesang" has to
be one of the greatest works , but just a reminder that a ready made for
maxers is "Study II"  (stockhausen-studie-II.pat)  from 1954 in the example
files included in the install of Max.
