      Only just looked at this, assume it's Heiner Goebbels rather than the other one?

              I Went To The House But Did Not Enter is a staged concert in three tableaux, composed by Heiner Goebbels.
              The tableaux are dedicated to four key twentieth-century literary texts by T.S. Eliot, Maurice Blanchot, Franz Kafka and Samuel Beckett.

              I reckon that the K is Kafka

                    Oh cheers, scb!

                    What L connects ethereal voices broadcast abroad from the motherland in times past; Stanley Kubrick; and the Royal Mechanical and Electrical Engineers, (REME)?

                    The L is musical

                            Nearer, in that the answer does indeed start with 'L' and it ends in 'o'

                              Lillibulero.... in the band at school we played the REME March, which was that tune...
                              "...the isle is full of noises,
                              Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
                              Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
                              Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."
