Irrsinnige Fruchtbarkeit

This music realizes that it is not enough to accept that which is present. It realizes that in order to exist as a fruitful and fertile being in time, it must demand that every sound, every rhythm and every possible noise is loved and has a place to rest, exist and converse. 

The title is based on a conversation of the music philosopher Adorno and the composer Stockhausen, which I found very amusing. In it, Stockhausen comments on how he himself often does not know what is happening in his pieces, to which Adorno responds that he finds this observation “fruchtbar” (fertile).
