Karlheinz Stockhausen
Karlheinz Stockhausen (1928 to 2007), born in Mödrath near Cologne, wrote more than three hundred works, from orchestral pieces to pure electronic music. His Studie I (1953) was the first piece composed entirely from sine waves, and Gesang der Jünglinge (1956) and Kontakte (1960) remain the classics of the Cologne studio. Later came Stimmung (1968), the seven-opera cycle Licht (1977 to 2003) and his own publishing house.
