Popis: In Solo, he turned his attention to the tape recorder-or, more precisely, to the tape loop. For Stockhausen, feedback went beyond the simple "reinjection" of sound into a musical process; it had a more general meaning, as he himself said: "I mean, for example, any kind of feedback between musicians who play in a group, where one musician inserts something, bringing something into context and then listening to what the next musician's doing with it when he's following certain instructions, transforming what he hears" (Cott 1973). Other pieces written with this philosophy include Prozession, Kurzwellen, Spiral, Pole, and Expo. The composer used different symbols to indicate the transformations to be used with a chosen musical event played by either the same or another player. Always interested in the expanded technical possibilities of melodic instruments, Stockhausen wanted to compose polyphonic music for a solo monodic instrument where the soloist is aided by several assistants (Stockhausen 1971)
