Stockhausen’s Attack

the music drew me out of the darkness
out of the dark labyrinthine tunnel,
mesmerising colours and notes surround me
engulfing me totally,
changing augmentation, diminution,
transformation, adaptation, substitution
threatened to explode my fragile mind,

con fuoco    with fire    con fuoco

gradually the softer intensities predominate
suddenly a staccato attack
attacked me
then fell to a legato articulation,

retardando    slower    retardando

soon the softer interval fields prevailed
gradually decaying into a force-field of no-thingness
then into absolute silence

silence    silence    silence
