Mantra

Album by Karlheinz Stockhausen & Jean-Frédéric Neuburger & Jean‐François Heisser & Serge Lemouton

Mantra is a 1970 composition by German composer Karlheinz Stockhausen that was issued as an album-length recording. The piece pairs two pianos with electronic processing and ring modulation around a central melodic formula, illustrating Stockhausen's move into formula composition and sustained electroacoustic and timbral experimentation in his post-1960s output.
