Stockhausen on sound

One of the great names in experimental music, Karlheinz Stockhausen's influence on today's music culture is both deep and far reaching. My introduction to Stockhausen actually came in the form of some old Ulver and Arcturus tracks where samples were taken from Stockhausen's Kontakte. Years later, on my travels around Germany, I got to catch a short film about the composer and his work in Leipzig. Since then, I've come to hear more and more of Stockhausen's, along with others, influence in popular genres such as Industrial, Rock, Electronic and Experimental music.

While his works certainly aren't for everyone, his influence is undeniable. So, enjoy the words of the man himself!
