“We should not worry about how many people can already understand or hear what is happening. Leave it to the nature of man’s evolution. Man will develop, always towards the unconscious so to make it conscious. He will develop always towards discovery. He’s curious, basically man is curious.

Karlheinz Stockhausen, 2007
