Karl Heinz Stockhausen
Karl Heinz Stockhausen was a German composer. One of the most influential composers of the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, he remains also one of the most controversial. He dabbled in electronic music, musical spatialization, and serial composition. He studied at the Hochschule fur Musik Koln and the University of Cologne, and later at the University of Bonn. His compositions and theories remain widely influential. He died of a heart attack at the age of 79, in late 2007.

DABBLED? Stockhausen was one of the few NOT to have dabbled. His involvement with Electronic music spanned almost 60 years during which he coposed numeorous electronic works and involved electronic sound in most of his compositions for live musicians. He was also head of the WDR Electronic Studio in Cologne for most of that time. The name by the way is Karlheinz, NOT Karl Heinz.
