Karlheinz Stockhausen - A pioneer in Utopia - Joran, Rudi (Ed)

Notam publishes the text collection Karlheinz Stockhausen - A Pioneer in Utopia . The idea behind the release is to shed light on the composer Karlheinz Stockhausen. With texts by Asbjn Blokkum Fland Asbjn Schaathun, an introduction by Notam's leader Jan Rudi, translated versions in English and German in one and the same volume, as well as a great collection of photos from Stockhausen's 50-year career, the booklet provides a unique insight in Stockhausen's life and work, seen in perspective from Norwegian composers and academics. The release takes place in parallel with concert performances of two of Stockhausen's works, Mikrophonie I and Hymnen , during the Ultima Festivalin October 2008. These concerts took place on 8 and 10 October, respectively, and were a collaboration between Notam and the Norwegian Academy of Music. It was the first time these pieces were performed in Norway.
