Karlheinz Stockhausen - Strahlen

The work's title suggests an impression of overwhelming radiance. The central idea of the composition is the simultaneous layering of five different tempos. These are chosen in various combinations from a scale of seven metronomic tempos: 30, 40, 53.5, 71, 95, 134, and 180 per minute.
Karlheinz Stockhausen: Strahlen/Rays (2002) für einen Schlagzeuger und 10-kanalige Tonaufnahme. László Hudacsek, vibraphone; Kathinka Pasveer, sound projection. Stockhausen Complete Edition CD 75. Kürten: Stockhausen-Verlag, 2011.

The proof that Stockhausen's music can be touching, moving and charming.

[@MegaCirse]

This legendary musician somehow, inadvertently and unexpectedly changed the criteria for evaluating all types of contemporary musicians of their time, cleaned up the then world sound iconostasis, to force these same musicians to measure their talents and irreversibly their ability to surprise their environment 🥸💥

[@daryjohnmizelle]

Beautiful composition; totally unique sound world and very well conceived and executed musical ideas. Thank you for this one Karlheinz!!

[@cut--]

I love John Cage as much!

[@truthlivingetc88]

we are absolutely sure you do

[@StockhausenScores]

You can actually choose which "layer" to play, by muting that specific channel of the 10-channel tape! This guy here played layer 3, i think.

[@unfa00]

What a composition idea!

[@rainerkornmusic]

Beautiful Music.

Hi Andrew I have exposed Stockhausen's later works LICHT, KLANG and others on my main channel "Victor Alexander" which got limited to 15 minute uploads some time ago until 2014. That's why I use this one at least till this limitation expires. I'm also into Steiner (I see you have a video with him). My request is Düfte-Zeiten. In fact my request is the whole catalog

[@carlocosmai2554]

Amazing

[@summonersummoner9536]

THE BEST

[@lvbandmore]

All of the mentioned CDs are available from Stockhausen Verlag. Please support the artist, and trust me it's worth it for the booklets.

[@paulhermansen6196]

Love your blogs but unfortunately not everyone has the kinda money to buy the official releases

[@lvbandmore]

@@paulhermansen6196 Totally understandable. I actually borrowed most of them from the library!

"Pole" in a new integral vesion. Me too I woukd love to hear it. And apart from that there is TREUE on my humble wishlist... ;)

[@jonathandunsby3817]

This is based on Hoch-Zeiten from Sonntag aus Licht

[@victoralexanderii3234]

Hi Andrew. Do you have düfte zeiten? I have a digital copy which has a "stumble"/rip-error. It last for a second but is noticeable + the file is 320kps and I prefer loseless format (you can private message me)

[@poulsendean]

❤️

[@klinertay]

Do you have the new Stockhausen Verlag? 103 I think? I would love to hear it! Thanks!

[@victoralexanderii3234]

I lost that cd..and even the loseless ripped file in a cleaning, a physical and a digital respectively

[@bernab]

Victor, I also have that restriction, but you can upload longer videos simply with Windows Movie Maker!!!

[@klinertay]

Yes, I do. I teach at Alfred University (Sonic Art). As soon as I get my new computer I will mail the CDs. I will make aiff copies not mp3. Is there any others you need, I have everything. I should have them in the mail by Monday.

[@sonicyouth23]

At 33:27, is that a quote from another piece? Which one??

[@massimopellegrinimusic]

It's Tierkreis

[@ftumschk]

It's not from Tierkreis, but is part of Michael's formula from the LICHT cycle. It features on at least two readily-available CDs/downloads that I know of: "Michaels Reise um die Erde" (Marco Blaauw, trumpet soloist) or "Michaels Reise - Solisten Version" (Markus Stockhausen on trumpet).

[@9827george]

OOh, this is most unfortunate... By the way, I have Sonntag aus Licht completely on 6 CDs. And Ilast year I bought Natürliche Dauern and the CD with Hoffnung and Glanz.
