Give yourself some time to listen to it without interruption though.
It was certainly the thing which made it click for me. The other way in that some friends had was the string quartet in helicopters from “licht” that the Kronos quartet recoded.
A teacher of mine used to be in Stockhausen’s band in the 70s so is on some of those classic recordings such as “sternklang” etc. He’s one of the people in this photo although I can’t remember exactly which one. I think he might be the tall dude at the back on the right. I studied 20th century music with him about 40 years after this photo so he looked quite different when I knew him. https://www.karlheinzstockhausen.org/img/Stockhausen_Errata_...
> We could make programs _so much_ better than they currently are, it’s not even funny.
IMHO, that's what the author is arguing. Now that we have the tech to do it, this is how companies will win new users. Making the technology "better" means subjective design decisions that can be defined as tasteful when done well.

Interesting that Nelson Goodmanis is mentioned. IMO music notation has the same, albeit lesser observable, problem as language and that's context. Regardless if it’s the Köln concert or a modular synth. If we try to capture all context for -let's say- the first second of a musical piece, it’s almost impossible to do.
What’s the context of your opinion? ;) By that I mean, what context do you see missing from music notation that should normally be there, and what would it accomplish? What is the goal behind capturing all context, and when is that goal important? Do have examples?
The author gives the example of the Köln Concert; we can buy scores to play the piece, but the score doesn't contain enough information to _really_ replicate the performance. That's what I meant by the missing context.
That’s a specific case of a piece explicitly and intentionally excluding the notes because it’s supposed to be improvised, right? The very point of the notation in that case is to avoid replicating a performance exactly. So what context is needed that’s missing? Why is replicating the performance exactly even a goal, when it’s not what the author wanted?
