This is the album features two works by Karl-Heinz Stockhausen, one of Germany's leading contemporary musicians, who began with typical serie rhythms and continued to develop into group music, momento forms and forme techniques, and left behind numerous live electronic works. A1 'Gesang der Juglinge' is a surround sound concoction that combines life and electronic sounds, with five groups of speakers playing music in a space surrounding the audience from five directions. Kontakte" is a collage of various electronic sounds, including a prepared piano played by two performers, metal/leather/wooden percussion and sequenced electronic sounds using an impulse generator, and as the title suggests, it is a concoction of instrumental and electronic sounds played by humans. Early Japanese pressing.
