I saw this podcast
on the blog "Music Thing" and immediately subscribed:
http://musicthing.blogspot.com/2008/04/tone-generation-great-podcast-on-early.html points
to the podcast here: http://odeo.com/show/18760343/view where
Ian Helliwell presents examples of early electronic music from Britain, France,
and now Germany. This is wonderful music from the 50's and thereabouts.
Last night I walked through the woods listening to a 1956 realization of Gesang
der Jünglinge (Song of the Youth) by Stockhausen. He uses terrific combination
of spatialization through placement and variable reverberation,
together with a mix of context laden sounds of children and their
deconstructed electronic extensions. I'd heard it before, but listening to it
next to the frenetic buzzes and squeaks of the other German composers of the
50's was enlightening. What a genius.

I have only heard 3 of your compositions, but I have to say that they are very genial too, and personally I find them more enjoyable than Gesang der Jünglinge. I feel that the way you expand the music language, is not an arbitrary addition of intervals, but a very understandable extension to the intervals that the western culture knows very well. Warm regards, Diego Saa
