Re: Stockhausen, R.I.P.

This is what he himself said about it afterward:

"At the press conference in Hamburg, I was asked if Michael, Eve and 
Lucifer were historical figures of the past and I answered that they 
exist now, for example Lucifer in New York. In my work, I have defined 
Lucifer as the cosmic spirit of rebellion, of anarchy. He uses his high 
degree of intelligence to destroy creation. He does not know love. After 
further questions about the events in America, I said that such a plan 
appeared to be Lucifer's greatest work of art. Of course I used the 
designation "work of art" to mean the work of destruction personified in 
Lucifer. In the context of my other comments this was unequivocal."
