Composers & Music / Re: Dennis Stoll

Some Australian friends of mine were part of his London entourage ("The Meditatational Arts") during the 80's. It seemed vaguely cultic to my young mind. Something that revolved around him believing himself to be a reincarnation of a court musician to Ahmenhotep the third.

He wrote quite a few books (including an autobiography at the age of 24 (called "I Give Myself Away") which you can find under his full name Dennis Gray Stoll on Amazon.

I think he was one of that generation that was sidelined by the advent of serialism as he wrote to me that he regarded it as an attempt to stop English musical growth and declared that William Glock and Hans Keller had encouraged the spread something that was just as detrimental to young composers as the AIDs epidemic.

He seems to have had quite a significant career prior to his Egyptian phase and, like you, I would be interested in hearing more of his music.
