The second act of one movement in this composer's opera cycle is often played as a trumpet concerto under the name Michael's Journey around the Earth. This man's "group composition" broke musical time into "moments" and smaller sections and found its roots in the "cells" of Webern. In one of his compositions named for those groups, each section is played in a different part of the hall. The eleventh member of one of his series for piano allows the performer to choose the order of those groups as in his solo percussion piece where the performer must return to his starting point, Zyklus. One of his cycles consists of fifteen compositions include inscriptions that tell the performer to do things like go without sleep and play sounds without thinking, as in Goldstaub, the fourteenth in From the Seven Days. Also based around seven days is his opera cycle Licht. For 10 points, name this German avant- garde electronic composer, known for his Klavierstücke and Kontakte and a Helicopter quartet.
