Stimmung

Album Notes & Community Reviews

Composed by the towering figure of the German avant-garde, this mesmerizing vocal piece utilizes a single B-flat major chord sustained for over an hour.[cite: 1] The six vocalists employ overtone singing and precise microtonal shifts, creating a deeply hypnotic, meditative drone completely devoid of traditional Western harmony or rhythm.[cite: 1] It is universally recognized as a groundbreaking, foundational masterpiece of minimalism and spectral music.[cite: 1]
