In 1964 Stockhausen prepared
a tam-tam by physically altering
its surface and applying live electronic processing to the sound. He explored
the sonic possibilities of this unusual medium with five other players and formalised this into the piece
Mikrophonie I. My piece, Mikrophonie III, takes Stockhausen’s as a model, as methodology and as material.
