[…] to inspire the Spectral school of composition. 15 weird works of classical music 6. Helicopter Quartet And finally, we couldn't leave out Stochausen's wacky Helicopter Quartet. Taken from the Licht cycle of operas, this 20th-Century string quartet places four performers in separate helicopters where they knock out the piece hundreds of feet above the ground. It was a composition that took modern techniques to dazzling new heights, quite literally.

Nothing stays still, except in terms of non-movement : even silences mark passage. Imagine visualizing the sound waves as they bounce back and forth, often in patterns At the Barbican, the sound desk will be managed by Kathinka Pasveer, Stockhausen's muse and acolyte. What will happen, when she, too, travels to the stars ? New interpreters, new technology, adapting the principles further and further. This is the third Cosmic Pulses in London in nine ten years. The most reecent was at the Roundhouse in 2013. In 2008, the instrument was the Royal Albert Hall, as big and as grandiose as halls can be. An extravaganza for sound desk !

A Stockhausen opera is coming your way, live and free
[…] Swiss premiere of the work, but its first production anywhere in more than 30 years. The livestream is available free of charge to viewers around the world and will be available on demand, also free of charge for two weeks after the live broadcast. The stage director is the young American Lydia Steier, who takes a fresh, highly theatrical approach to the piece. Titus Engel, especially renowned in modern music, is the conductor, while Kathinka Pasveer, a long-time collaborator of Stockhausen (who died in 2007) takes charge of the sound-mixing, having been closely involved with the musical preparation. The central role of Michael, a modern Orpheus, is taken by no fewer than four performers: the tenors Peter Tantsits and Rolf Romei, the trumpeter Paul Hübner and the dancer Emmanuelle Grach. The video production and direction is by Bernhard Fleischer.
