Sonhar a Música. Karlheinz Stockhausen morreu.

O gigante Karlheinz Stockhausen atingiu o patamar supremo da nossa existência. Partiu aos 79 e deixa-nos a braços com uma obra imensa, disponível para quem ousar penetrar nas muralhas que foi construindo, na imensidão dos sonhos.

Pioneiro da música electrónica, visionário polémico e sinónimo da vanguarda musical na segunda metade do séc. XX, Stockhausen conseguiu construir uma imagem especulativa colossal, encenando da forma mais inteligente obras megalómanas. A sua Arte TOTAL, numa fuga permanente ao estabelecido.
"I can always allow myself to escape from my own house, from my own system . . ."



Karlheinz Stockhausen, 22 Ago 1928 - 5 Dez 2007

Iain McKell, "New Gypsies"

"Historically despised the new Gypsies are there by choice, not heritage. Unrelated to the Roma, the movement began in 1986 when a group of Post-Punk Anti-Thatcher protesters headed out of London into the English countryside. McKell followed these New Age Travellers to the West Country and over the years he watched them become a hybrid tribe - the new gypsies - present-day rural anarchists, living the subversive lifestyle in elaborately decorated horse-drawn caravans."

New Order - Video 5-8-6 [Extended 22:23 version]

“Video 5 8 6” is a song originally composed as “pap” (as Tony Wilson put it) for the opening night of the Haçienda on May 21, 1982. Parts of this pearl would become the basis for the Power, Corruption & Lies tracks “5 8 6” and “Ultraviolence”, as well as the associated 12-inch single “Blue Monday”.
