> The seminars of Stockhausen and Luciano Berio did radically put into question the nature of music; John Cage arrived from New York, where he had initiated 24-hour piano-marathons. Morton Subotnick propagated the brandnew Bucla-Synthesizer, that didn't had keyboard anymore, but a number of panels that could trigger of a variety of musical 'happenings'. Other composers, like Milton Babbit, Xenakis and Toshi Ichyanagi held seminars, whilst the navel of the west-german experimental scene was formed by the audio-workshops of Roland Kayn, Thomas Kessler and Stockhausen himself. <
