Beware- when most people use the name 'Stockhausen' to describe another
artist, they usually have never heard any of his music. His name has
become such an anachronism that it's liberally used all over the place to
describe almost any type of music that has discord and random
noise ('Cage' is another name that gets bandied about like
this). Certainly some artists have definitely been influenced by his work
but I wish that more people would actually listen to his compositions
before they throw his name around. For Stocky, if you haven't heard
anything before, please get a hold of "Gesang Der Junglinge," "Kontakte,"
"Etude" and "Mantra."
I'd suggest that many artists also pick up on Stocky's compositional ideas
as much as his music itself. The same applies to Cage in spades,
IMHO. I'd recommended these books: Cage's "Silence" and "Stockhausen on
Music."
Best,
Jason
