The NACA Music, Art & General Creativity Thread

[Ian H]

A few years ago the Proms were Stockhausen themed. We went to several. There was also a prepared piano piece by Cage.
Back in the 60s the Proms premiered a piece by Stockhausen (Stimmung, I think) with the great man himself signalling to the orchestras (plural) and operating a shortwave radio. It was at one of the smaller venues - can't remember which.

I have to be in the right mood. I was well into Schönberg and Webern when I was at school and university,

I wasn't into it but at school our director of music did manage to train our 6th form chamber choir so well that we could pretty much sight read Schönberg

Can't think of any atonal choral music of his offhand. I suspect the Webern cantatas are a whole different ballgame. They are bizarre, and my least favourite Webern.

If @briantrumpet locked an impressionable heiress in his Ulverston dungeon and continually played her discordant music would she develop Stockhausen syndrome?

Having only just stumbled across this thread, can I just say that this is the best thing I've seen on t'internet since I can't remember when. Stunning. And I join the numerous others in wishing the feller all the best.

He's done a fair amount since then although he's still quite ill. All his music and especially his videos are worth checking out. He's a true artist. Since he's become moderately internet famous and successful he's putting the money into funding clinics for people in similar situations.

He's sincerely a truly great and uplifting human being.

I didn't know which thread to put this in, but I figured the creativity thread worked considering the love I have for Kid Rock.

Perhaps Donnie will start using his tunes rather than YMCA?

Both absolutely killer albums.

I watched the recent biopic film a couple weeks ago, which is a great watch. And reminded me of the weird joy I get when pointing out that "Born in the USA" is basically B sides off "Nebraska".

Starmer to blame for Wireless festival cancellation?

Just to clarify, that's the Restore position not mine.
