Stockhausen: Gesang der Jünglinge (Early Electronic Music)

Karheinz Stockhausen was one of the pioneers of electronic music, inventing complex techniques that are now easily executed by anyone with a computer. This type of music was called 'Music Concrete' back in the day and involved cutting up, manipulating and restructuring individual pieces of tape to make an entire work.

This 1956 piece 'Songs of The Young' is comprised of many samples (as we call them today) of children reading a religious text.

The last few minutes of the piece are chopped off, due to youtube length restrictions.
