Subject: Re: Mauricio Kagel eat your heart out, eat yer heart out!

Oops, this one hadn't appeared when I answered the question about Penderecki, or I woulda done 'em both at once. It's Argentine-born composer Mauricio Kagel (1931- ). He wrote a lot of pioneering electronic music, and experimented with indeterminacy, which is probably the context FZ was thinking of when he made the above remark. Kagel is even on the Freak Out influences list.
