I’m reposting this because it’s fucking insane.  Stockhausen takes this pretentious pricks question/implication of electronic music being “de-humanized” and blows his goddamn mind. This is ‘72, mind you.

If you’re a modern music listener and can sit through the crazy batshit that Stockhausen spits (also brilliant, btw) then take a few minutes with this.
