Karlheinz Stockhausen

*2022 Stock.* Für kommende Zeiten is a relatively contemporary recording of some intuitive music pieces from Stockhausen's second collection of text scores, recorded by the Ensemble for Intuitive Music Weimar (Michael von Hintzenstern (piano/harmonium), Matthias von Hintzenstern (cello), Hans Tutschku (synthesizer), Daniel Hoffmann (trumpet)) on May 28, 2005. During a period of personal upheaval and crisis, Stockhausen wrote a set of texts, Aus Den Sieben Tagen, which are essentially verbal instructions which an ensemble (usually small) could use to embark on a kind of "textural" improvisation. These works would tend to establish a kind of "vibratory environment" and then gradually develop into new ensemble landscapes. Stockhausen called these improvisatory journeys "intuitive music", and sometimes inferred that instead of playing from a score, the performers would receive musical vibrations from each other and possibly from some kind of spiritual force. Für kommende Zeiten is basically a second collection of texts for use in creating intuitive music improvisations. Aus Den Sieben Tagen was written in a very short period under physically and mentally taxing conditions, but Für kommende Zeiten was written over the span of a few years, usually while teaching, traveling or touring.
