Re: [microsound] stockhausen verlag
This just in: Stockhausen has received the Swedish Polar Music Award for
2000...together with Burt Bacharach.
Anyone willing to put money on Stockhausen fainting, or at least giving out a
small scream, when he finds out who Burt is...and what he´s done? You gotta love
postmodernism.
Oh, and Robert Moog got the special prize.
