Karlheinz Stockhausen's Kontakte

pt 1.
pt 2.
pt 3.
pt 4.

The wave form from about 20 minutes into Kontakte (this is the beginning of part 3), a gradual decrescendo and diminuendo lasting about 20-25 seconds and sounding a bit like running your fingernail over a comb's teeth:


I propose Kontakte as the new national anthem of the United States of America. It should be played before every ballgame while spectators stand for 35 minutes with their hands over their hearts. And if they don't, they're with the terrorists.
