Performed by one of his original collaborators <b>Kathinka Pasveer<\/b>, the maverick composer\u2019s <i>OKTOPHONIE<\/i> from his opus <i>Licht<\/i> gets an exciting new life in an epic production of this monumental composition.<\/p>\n<p>Acclaimed contemporary visual artist <b>Rirkrit Tiravanija<\/b> stages the work as the composer originally intended\u2014in outer space\u2014creating a lunar floating seating unit to fully envelop the listener in octophonic sound. Adorned in white, the audience takes a ritualistic musical journey from plunging darkness into blinding light to fully immerse themselves in the all-encompassing score and surroundings. The vastness of the Wade Thompson Drill Hall is the perfect setting to fully realize this rarely performed work that Stockhausen so boldly envisioned in its highly-anticipated New York premiere.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Ow0JPux7ZVI?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The electronic-music composition Oktophonie by the late Karlheinz Stockhausen is being performed this week in New York City with a space themed production: OKTOPHONIE : Program &amp; Events : Park Avenue Armory OKTOPHONIE Music Experience Aims to Emulate Space Travel &#8211; Space.com From the program description: New York Premiere By Karlheinz Stockhausen Environment designed by &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/hobbyspace.com\/Blog\/?p=1380\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Stockhausen&#8217;s Oktophonie performed as a space travel experience<\/span> <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[20,8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1380","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-space-arts","category-space-music"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p34aWK-mg","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":17976,"url":"https:\/\/hobbyspace.com\/Blog\/?p=17976","url_meta":{"origin":1380,"position":0},"title":"Space arts roundup &#8211; Feb.23.2019","author":"TopSpacer","date":"February 23, 2019","format":false,"excerpt":"Some recent items involving art and dance inspired by space: ** The Artists Inspire Astronauts contest is sponsored by NASA: The goal of this challenge is to create an inspiring environment for astronauts before they head out on space missions.
