Ruth C. Horton Gallery and Grand Lobby Kyle Hutchins, artistic director "Setz die Segel zur Sonne (Set Sail for the Sun)" From "Aus den sieben Tagen," Karlheinz Stockhausen, May 1968 play a tone for so long until you hear its individual vibrations hold the tone and listen to the tones of the others - to all of them together, not to individual ones – and slowly move your tone until you arrive at complete harmony and the whole sound turns to gold to pure, gently shimmering fire What do these words sound like? What do those sounds look like? Join us for a night of “intuitive music” and mutual response to words, sight, and sound. Sketchbooks and pencils provided for guests while supplies last. Join the Virginia Tech New Music Ensemble for an evening of Karlheinz Stockhausen's "Set Sail for the Sun," a seminal text work of intuitive music from the collection "From the Seven Days" in the Ruth C.
