A description of the experience
Stockhausen: "Gesang der Junglinge"
Karlheinz Stockhausen – Text zur Musik 1970-1977
Interview 1: Gesprach mit hollandischem Kunstkreis 1973
Most music is just physical and speaks to centres in us that belong more to the animal than to the superhuman – I mean here by superhuman that we are spirits, when we are freed from flesh and bones – that is what should be the most important thing now; that each person should gradually become conscious enough to choose specific music and to be able to say ‘I choose that within myself which comes to vibration through music’
