Karlheinz Stockhausen is dead as Hell

[deepinthewoods]

Experimental composer Karlheinz Stockhausen has died. He is most recently notable as saying that the 9/11 atacks were "Lucifer's greatest masterpiece" (with "Dogs Playing Poker" a close second). Those crazy Krauts and their brutal honesty. Anyways, along with Pierre Schaeffer, Pierre Henry et al., he was one of the first ever proponents of electronic music, and so should either be praised as the wellspring of Kraftwerk or reviled as great grandfathering in NSYNC.

One of Phil Lesh's biggest influences....

Lesh did bring Stockhousen's name to light.
