Kevin Austin Lecture on Stockhausen’s Kontakte
Browsing the most recent issue of the SEAMUS newsletter, I noticed a link to a recorded version of Kevin Austin’s lecture on Stockhausen’s Kontakte. In this lecture, Austin breaks down Kontakte, and tries to make the piece listener-friendly. At SEAMUS 2009, he also handed out a packet, which contains his listening notes for the piece. These notes guide the listener through Austin’s 38 subdivisions of the piece, giving the listener cues for each moment of the work.
Here is the listening guide in pdf form, so that you can follow along with Kevin Austin’s lecture on Kontakte.
I am going to try and get Kevin on the phone for an interview later this week.
