Expo (Stockhausen)
''Expo'', for three performers with shortwave radio receivers and a sound projectionist, is a composition by Karlheinz Stockhausen, written in 1969–70. It is Number 31 in the catalogue of the composer's works. Conception ''Expo'' is the penultimate in a series of works dating from the late 1960s which Stockhausen designated as "Process music, process" compositions.

The processes, indicated primarily by plus, minus, and equal signs, constitute the composition and, despite the unpredictability of the ...
