Karlheinz Stockhausen 1970 1991 1993
Karlheinz Stockhausen's 'Oktophonie' is a collection of music in 99 pieces (here, tracks) based around the idea of aleatoricism and makes up the music for 'Tuesday' in Stockhausen's 'Light' series. It is utterly bizarre. As the cover illustrates, the music is designed to physically explore the space in which it is played: The octophonic spatial composition cannot be reproduced un a stereophonic mix. Those who want to experience the original spatial composition must therefore hear a performance of OCTOPHONY with the correct loudspeaker distribution. At the moment, there are scarcely any halls in which this is possible. The opera hall in Leipzig was 14 meters [42 feet] high and thus well suited for the performance of TUESDAY from LIGHT (1993), but the seats below and on the balcony could not be used. It is hoped that, in the foreseeable future, halls will be built which allow an all-round electroacoustic installation, enabling omni-directional sound movements, as was the case at the 1970 World Fair in Osaka. [...] The 8 simultaneous movement-layers have, however, been preserved in the stereo version of OCTOPHONY, and none of the stereo versions of other woks (GESANG der JÜNGLINGE, KONTAKTE, HYMNEN, or SIRIUS) are so directionally polyphonic, three-dimensional in their movements, outer-spacious, or flight-dreamy as that of OCTOPHONY. One of the reasons for this is that / after countless experiments / I discovered a new way to convert the octophonic movements into stereophonic movements. This discovery surprised me even after decades of stereo mixing. It is recommended, when listening repeatedly, also to listen to the whole composition over earphones. Whoever can, should place 4 loudspeakers in the four corners of an almost square room and play back the two tracks over 2 loudspeakers at the left and 2 at the right / if possible, not softer than circa 80 phone. You will be amazed! / Karlheinz Stockhausen
