Karlheinz Stockhausen joined the electronic music studio of West German Broadcasting (Westdeutscher Rundfunk) in Cologne in 1953. His Studie I (1953; “Study”) was the first musical piece composed from sine-wave sounds, while Studie II (1954) was the first work of electronic music to be notated and published. He also used tape recorders and other machines to analyze and investigate sounds through the electronic manipulation of their fundamental elements, sine waves.
