Luis, I think you have been putting this sentence in a dangerous way. Stockhausen was indeed very conceptual and ironic when he said that and he payed a lot for this. His mistake was not having create the right context in which this sentence could have had the right interpretation. Most of the information world took this yummy chance to denounce a big offense to the disaster that had been happening on 9/11. But this has shown once again how the provocative sentence by S. could have some meaning. Just watch the latest directions that sculpture and most of the visual art has taken and you will notice that the twin towers attack is using the same violent language form that is inside many offensive "conceptual" work of art. The difference is in being real or a fiction. The problem stays in the in the value of the concept over the value of human sensitivity. Most of the art celebrated during the latest years is a work of violence towards our sensitivity. Most of the information is using violence as an opportunity to get a massive audience. So here come students that kill to be famous and artists who sectionate a cow to be hyperrealists. Stockhausen's sentence brought its result showing the truth on the surface of how people want to understand what they would like to listen to. It would have been safer for me to tell you this in italian, to be sure that there could be no misunderstandings. Anyway, we are the post Karlheinz Stockhausen era. I think that he was the last of the most revolutionary composers. This means we are no more in the post-modern era. Now it's you.
