”Originale” de Stockhausen est une pièce créée en 1961 pour des musiciens, peintre, poète, chanteur, caméraman, acteurs et bien d'autres. Une véritable pièce "free-style" des années 60 basée sur une atmosphère ambiante surréaliste, inspirée par Samuel Beckett et Alain Robbe-Grillet, combinant une partition structurée et une série d'improvisations à l'image des premiers "happenings", avec un casting inhabituel de personnages: un pianiste, un percussionniste, un technicien du son, un metteur en scène, un caméraman, un éclairagiste, un compositeur , un peintre en action, un poète, un chanteur de rue, un vestiaire, un vendeur de journaux, un mannequin, un enfant, un dresseur d’animaux, un chef d'orchestre et cinq acteurs lisant un montage de textes hétéroclites.

le film de Peter Moore pour la version new-yorkaise de 64 à l'étonnant casting
À l'extérieur de la salle de concert lors de la soirée d'ouverture, le 8 septembre 1964, plusieurs artistes new-yorkais se faisant appeler Action Against Cultural Imperialism, dont George Maciunas, membre fondateur de Fluxus, l'artiste Henry Flynt, le poète, journaliste et activiste Marc Schleifer, le violoniste et cinéaste Tony Conrad, et l'acteur Alan Marlowe ont protesté contre Stockhausen l'accusant d'impérialiste culturel en raison de certaines remarques prétendument désobligeantes qu'il était censé avoir faites à Harvard en 1958 sur le jazz et la musique folk.
Il est à noter également qu'en 1974, après avoir travaillé comme assistant de Stockhausen sur plusieurs pièces comme "Gruppen", Cornelius Cardew écrit un pamphlet intitulé "Stockhausen serves imperialism".
April 29, 1964: First AACI Demonstration
Outside the concert hall on the opening night, 8 September 1964, several New York artists calling themselves Action Against Cultural Imperialism, including Fluxus founder George Maciunas, concept art's creator Henry Flynt, poet, journalist, and activist Marc Schleifer, violinist and filmmaker Tony Conrad, and actor Alan Marlowe protested against Stockhausen as a "cultural imperialist" because of some reportedly disparaging remarks about jazz and folk music he was supposed to have made at Harvard in 1958. As well it should be noted that in 1974, after he had worked as Stockhausen's assistant on several pieces such as "Gruppen", Cornelius Cardew wrote a pamphlet entitled "Stockhausen serves imperialism".
