About the Author

Robin Maconie is a New Zealand-born composer and musicologist who has studied with Olivier Messiaen and Karlheinz Stockhausen.

Reviews

Other Planets is an entertaining and detailed resource…. [T]he imaginative, conglomerate approach taken by Maconie invites further elaboration and discussion. In the context of a resurgence in performances of Stockhausen’s music and an intensification of interest around the world, this resource…will help shape the interpretation and reception of future practitioners and audiences.
