Karlheinz Stockhausen, one of the most important and controversial postwar composers who helped shape a new understanding of sound through electronic compositions, died at his home in western Germany. He was 79. NYT
i was really only able to talk to my (PhD/career officer) dad about music via KS. i learned of him through my obsession w/ aphex twin. and then it opened up this whole relationship w/ my dad. but the same could be said for reich & glass.
i also felt his work connected w/ architecture in a lot of ways. more in playing off parts than being "frozen music" or whatever that is.
