you mean he performed solo, or the piece
was called solo? ;-)
The piece titled "Solo" was for solo melody instrument
and tape delay system.
He had a big disc with sound waves drawn
on it in the same
way that movies use an optical soundtrack.
This allowed him to speed up a loop so much it eventually became
a tone ( not easy to do well even with digital editing).
A much greater range of pitch than possible with tape
loops.
Where did you get that information?
According to Stockhausen, in Texte IV, p. 365:
"...there were loops running everywhere, and you
could see it through the glass windows between the studios. Finally I
used the fast-forward on the tape recorder to accelerate the tapes so
they were already four or five octaves up, then the result went up
another four octaves - so then I was up eight octaves - until finally
I got into an area where the rhythms were heard as pitches and
timbres."
