plus what he is ... ( 1 month ago by amunneheh)
plus what he is doing is very impressive:
steve reich wrote the piece so one hand is playing a 16th faster then the other hand and in this piece they overlap three times.
id be impressed if with myself i was able to do that :p

That's pretty interesting. I don't really understand it though.

Not true, a guy at my school performed this, 1 person with 2 pianos, about 5 years ago when Reich came to our school as a composer-in-residence for a week. No doubt this guy is extremely talented, but he's not the only one who's done it.

Maybe you do know something about classical theory, relativetall, but you "certainly" know nothing about artistic approach, or creativity.

Simply amazing! But it would be really interesting to hear the complete, unedited piece, wich lasts about 18-20 minutes.
If you`re going to play something like this, you need to be mentally prepared, and this performer sure took his time before the start of the concert. Modern music is very demanding for the performers...
Now play "Drumming" by yourself, man!! =D

I don't want to offend anyone here but could someone please tell me what is so good about Steve Reich's music.....
I mean, I know its original and refreshing, but what emotion does it give you?
Someone sell it to me. I could sell the music I like, to someone, and I'm not even into any of that commercial manufactered crap

Sometimes you just have to let art be art.

At least fit a word to it's emotions.
Otherwise you're offending both words and music.
Hypnotic poetry? ... ( 1 week ago by smurfinpsp)
Hypnotic poetry? Words don't actually accurately describe emotions, though, so I don't really know if that fits. But I do find this beautiful and interesting. The way patterns break out of phase and you suddenly 'understand' what one melodic loop is saying, how it seems to say something else juxtaposed to another. Epiphanic moments where everything seems to click, and then thrown into more incoherence only to reveal another pattern. Interestingly, hypnotically beautiful. My 2 cents...

That doesn't even make sense.

Reich's music is unique. It's awkwardly comfortable. You dont need emotion for it. It just is.
Well...fuck! ( 1 week ago by SanDonatoKings)
Well...fuck!
I think the beauty ... ( 1 week ago by KateLouise)
I think the beauty of Reich's music is similar to the beauty of Science or mathematics. An equation or a chemical symbol does not at first seem beautiful or engaging , but as you come to understand them and study them you begin to see the relationships and the balance or imbalance within them. You begin to see connections and an image of something greater something more complex and that in itself holds a great deal of fascination and yes even beauty.

It's all perception really; one may look at this and think "wow this is just repetitive and boring" and another may say "wow this is beautiful" .. if it doesn't turn you on, cool - just check it out another time. you don't have to feel an "emotion" when you hear music all the time. maggotqueen is right, just let it be what it is. and the problem is the "selling of it" - trying to criticize and label what doesn't have to be.

How interesting. ... ( 1 day ago by dbrockbassoon)
How interesting. I've only heard City Life by Reich. This was very different. I can picture someone alone in a room, his or her mind swirling in thoughts, and the person going crazy. I like it.

Although I listen to very different music I can much appreciate Reich for how he made this, and I love the phasing of the parts. His music is clear, yet weird.
