Stockhausen Said
I
Stockhausen said:
”Do you have good speakers?
It happens in the high registers”
talking about Telemusic
He said:
”Bring good cameras!”
When I went home, he said:
”Go home and write!”,
and opened the car door
to slump back into his seat
”First I'll go to the mountains” I said
II
Stockhausen said:
”Let's take pictures of Suzee, Kathinka and me!”
I took him out
to a leafy background
by the creek,
with Suzanne & Kathinka
on either side
He looked straight at me
with kind eyes and open face
as I raised the camera,
and said:
”We never do this!”
III
Stockhausen said:
”Raise your hand
if you make a mistake”,
addressing his musicians
in the Cologne studio,
recording Stop & Start
