Perhaps if a Chinook had been used we could have watched a military marching band perform.

Stockhausen's helicopter extravaganza finally gets a UK outing -- in Birmingham. So we're talking hideous noise, filthy pollution, disorientated human beings making incomprehensible sounds -- but that's enough about Birmingham.

It's aleatoric or avante-garde music (commonly referred to by those who have to study it as alimentary music). It's supposed to sound like that, to be new and edgy or something. Blame John Cage (the 4'33" guy).

Did I hear they were practicing for the Olympics!! music relayed with a down link whilst helicopters overhead
Not April 1st yet is it?
No wonder the Olympics are costing so much, or it is a government incentive for helio pilots in the South who are hard hit by all the restrictions.
