How does technology enable the composer(s) to do what would otherwise be impossible?Discuss

Electronic Music – write a response to ONE of the following works of your choosing:

a) Stockhausen “Gesang der Junglinge” (1958) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1Psx24n3rM
b) Aphex Twin “Windowlicker” (1999) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FATTzbm78cc
c) William Basinski “Watermusic” (2001) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybe5di9h4ro

How does technology enable the composer(s) to do what would otherwise be impossible? How are traditionally musical elements extended? Why or why not do you find the work compelling? If you wish, you may use articles such as “Liberation of Sound” by Varese, the documentation on Stockhausenʼs “Gesang” ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gesang_der_J%C3%BCnglinge ), “Ambient Music and Apocalypse” by Joanna Demers, and other relevant sources to support your writing.
