Set sail for the sun
Play a tone for so long
until you hear its individual vibrations
Hold the tone
and listen to the tones of the others
– to all of them together, not to individual ones –
and slowly move your tone
until you arrive at complete harmony
and the whole sound turns to gold
to pure, gently shimmering fire

This month Artforum publishes reflections on Karlheinz Stockhausen by Robin Maconie, La Monte Young, Morton Subotnick, Irvine Arditti, Pierre-Laurent Aimard, and Björk. Maconie, Subotnick, and Björk’s pieces have been published online, and we would be grateful if you would link to them. Here’s the URL: http://artforum.com/inprint/id=19549
Maconie’s is the longer piece; Subotnick and Björk’s texts begin on page six of the online article.
Thanks in advance for your consideration.
Best wishes,
