	Story Behind the Song "My past experience was not to 'meddle' with the material but use my concentration as a guide to what might transpire. I mentioned this to Stockhausen once when he asked me what my secret was. 'I don't push the sounds around.' Stockhausen mulled this over, and asked: 'Not even a little bit?'"
