Karlheinz Stockhausen – Oktophonie

Oktophonie is part of Stockhausen’s epic, 25-year-in-the-making, 29-hour-long super-opera cycle Licht (“light”).  Oktophonie is the second act of Dienstag ( Tuesday), and depicts an epic interplanetary battle between Lucifer and the archangel Michael. The electronic composition is meant to be performed on the moon, with the audience sitting inside a perfect box of eight speakers.

Tonight hear it in the old UCD Medical Library at the National Concert Hall!
