The NACA Music, Art & General Creativity Thread

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?
