Influence on Miles Davis and Can. Not too shabby.

Played a clip on channel 4 news last night, never really heard any of his stuff before. Sounds like he was a big influence on a lot of soundtrack scorers too.
RIP

"Stockhausen later wrote, describing this period in his compositional work, "The first revolution occurred from 1952/53 (:o ) as musique concrète, electronic tape music, and space music, entailing composition with transformers, generators, modulators, magnetophones, etc; the integration of all concrete and abstract (synthetic) sound possibilities (also all noises), and the controlled projection of sound in space" (Stockhausen 1989b, 127; reprinted in Schwartz & Childs 1998, 374)" quoted from Wikipedia

stimmung and gersang de junglinge were of massive influence to me... first connecting musical influence between me and my father too. leaves a truly staggering musical legacy in his wake, rest in peace.
