"...The concurrent artistic careers of G. Ligeti and J. Beuys have instilled a desire in Vollmaier for cooperation and new creation inspired by their artistic outputs. In 1963, Beuys organised the first Festum Fluxorum Fluxus in Düsseldorf, and invited Ligeti to take part in the festival. A milestone in the development of Beuys' artistic "actions", the festival served as a catalyst for his sound performances, from then on explicitly referred to as "concerts", while Ligeti radicalized the performative aspect of music in his work.

On the one hand, this was Ligeti's "extreme electronic" approach to the acoustic instrument and, on the other hand, Beuys' concept of tearing down the wall between life and art..."
