I also love Nordheim. He really deserves more notoriety than he currently
has...
Stockhausen has also made interesting stuff but he's generally classified in
a school (the Cologne school, solely based on tone generators and primitive
electronic instruments, at first) that was opposed to musique concrète
(Paris school). Although he was indeed among the first to blend concrete
elements and electronically-generated sounds in "Gesand der Junglinge" and
thus breaking the barriers between the two camps.
