Me: I feel ill, wonder if it’s over yet. He’s been holding that note for a while, maybe this track’s almost over. *Checks* It’s half way through…

I mean, if function generators and pulse monitors playing over the brass band during their warm up are your sort of thing, then by all means listen to Stockhausen. It’s the kind of thing that sounds terribly intelligent, like listening to someone plotting the Riemann-Zeta function on a Dubreq Stylophone. Here a melody, there chaos, always hesitant.
I can’t imagine, say, drifting off in the bath to it though.
