An account of the avant-garde and the Beatles, from the avant-garde's point of view:

One night in 1967, György Ligeti was sitting with several colleagues at the Darmstadt Schlosskeller, the favorite late-night hangout of teachers and students at the Summer Courses for New Music, when Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, a new album by the Beatles, started playing over the loudspeakers. Some of the sounds on the record bore a surprising resemblance to the Darmstadters' latest and most advanced experiments. The song "A Day in the Life" included two spells of ad libitum playing, the second of them leading into a gorgeously strange E-major chord played by three pianos and a harmonium. Players were given a score indicating what register they should have reached in any given bar. The last chord was executied in musique concrète fashion, the attack cut off and the decay amplified over a long duration.

The Beatles had first dipped into the Darmstadt sound in March of the previous year, while working on the album Revolver. Paul McCartney had been checking out Stockhausen's Gesang der Jünglinge, with its electronic layering of voices, and Kontakte, with its swirling tape-loop patterns. At his request, engineers at Abbey Road Studios inserted similar effects into the song "Tomorrow Never Knows". By way of thanks, the Beatles put Stockhausen's face on the cover of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, in and among cutout pictures of other mavericks and countercultural heroes. The following year, for the White Album, John Lennon and Yoko Ono created the tape collage "Revolution 9", where, for a split second, the final chords of Sibelius's Seventh Symphony can be heard.

the main reason i don't view 1980s music as "old" is because when I think of music I think of classical composers and classical composers from time are guys like stockhausen (labelled modernist) and people today are indeed still not ready for Guys Like Stockhausen. to me old music is like. bach. stockhausen is more like a gen z there
