In Michigan, Krumm finally found a welcome environment for his radical musical approach.

Krumm premiered several of his own compositions at ONCE, including the well-received"Music for Clocks," a proto-minimalist composition with a Dada spirit. The stage was filled with clocks, which were the music's intended audience. Krumm also made early contributions to the movement. Some of his works were showcased in the first Fluxus newsletter, and his composition"Patterns" was featured at the first public Fluxus festival in Wiesbaden, Germany.

At the 1963 Pataphysics Festival, organized by author Roger Shattuck, Krumm met Jerry Hunt, a lifelong friend and avant-garde luminary who later released Krumm's hauntingly beautiful"Sound Machine" on his, a 1964 program on Austin's public TV station, performing John Cage scores with Ed Vizard, saxophonist for Asleep at the Wheel.

, a Christian rock cantata staged by then-Trinity Baptist Church Pastor Buckner Fanning. Krumm, no big fan of religion, played synthesizer. The company also designed the lighting for Hemisfair '68's Youth Pavilion, sometimes called Project Y. Beyond that, Krumm also had a hand in programming music for the pavilion, bringing in a range of bands and composers, from the ONCE group to William Russo, a trombonist who pushed the boundaries of jazz by combining it with classical music.

"I loved acid. Loved it," he says."I had a lot at the appropriate time, back in the '60s, when it was the good stuff. I learned all my psychic lessons and had great respect for it. It never hurt me ... . It was never anything but nice to me. No matter the environment, a bunch of wonderful people or a bunch of monkeys — it always pulled me together. That was the initial effect I got from it — togetherness. It said 'you're very sane. Don't worry about it.

After meeting Krumm, Henry began hanging out at Clipper Ship, Krumm's nascent bookstore. It served as a connection point for the city's boundary-pushing creatives.
