| “ | HOW the players react to what they hear on the radio; HOW they imitate and then modulate it, transpose it in time (longer or shorter, more or less rhythmically articulated) and in space (higher or lower, louder or softer); WHEN and HOW and HOW OFTEN they play synchronously or alternatingly, in duos, trios or quartets; HOW they call and invite each other to hear together an event which wanders among them for a prolonged period of time, letting it shrink and grow, compressing and expanding it, darkening and lightening it, concentrating or playfully decorating it. Stockhausen, from the attached sleeve text | ” |

Why version 1969 was reissued 6 year before version 1968?

During the recording 1968 LP Side 2 a little strange and unexplicable thing happened at the 5th minute: a very short loop of the same sound.

many thanks ooliver!

btw, it only strikes me now - the album was recorded in Bremen and Cologne, Germany; I wonder what that sign they're holding is doing there. It's Dutch and means "no access; entrance (go right)". The juxtaposition of the nouns is a bit weird. I take it Karlheinz snitched it somewhere in the Netherlands because he liked the absurdity of it
One little comment I would like to offer: because of the very nature of Stockhausen's music, and his unconventional
use of tones and frequencies, some of these could very much be taken as 'noise' and removed by your software.
While the software probably works reasonably well for 'normal' music, this is one instance where I wonder
if it may not be better to let people decide how much noise and hiss removal should be performed on these pieces.
(That is, besides removing the obvious clicks and pops from the vinyl)
What do you think? Anyway, looking forward to more of these! Also, do you have any Oskar Sala by any chance?

I've checked the difference (noise removal on/off) with the software that now I use (Total Recorder) and found no relevant significance (you can check with my files: on LP A noise removal is on and LP B is off): probably why my LP are quite new and well kept.
BTW tomorrow I will add a link for the second file, the loop problem on LP A side B noted by Antidatum (if anyone send me other problems..).
Finally Oscar Sala. I've 3 cd, found on the web (My fascinating instrument; Subharmonische Mixturen; Trautonium Works, with also Hindemith's works) and 2 LP (Electronic Kaleidoscope; Elektronische Impressionen): please, the LP transfer it's a lot of work.....
