Karlheinz Stockhausen (1928-2007) British Lectures (1972-1973) 7 lectures given by Stockhausen in England in 1972 and 1973, filmed by Allied Artists, London. All lectures were given in English. Lecture 6 - TELEMUSIK (59 minutes) Lecture 6 Given at Essex University on May 7th 1972. The substance of the work consists of recordings of a variety of traditional ethnic musics from around the world, together with electronically generated sounds. More than twenty of these recorded fragments are intermodulated on tape with electronic sounds and with each other to produce "odd hybrid-types"—modulating, for example, "the chant of monks in a Japanese temple with Shipibo music from the Amazon, and then further impos[ing] a rhythm of Hungarian music on the melody of the monks. In this way, symbiotic things can be generated, which have never before been heard". Stockhausen British Lectures Main Page Karlheinz Stockhausen on UbuWeb Film Karlheinz Stockhausen on UbuWeb Sound
