Reich is brilliant! “Come out” is a very affecting piece, and the history behind it is also quite interesting.
Also, judging from the name, OP is probably also a fan of Arvo Part. There is a moving “video etude” for the piece Healing of Arinushka that I would recommend if you’re feeling contemplative https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7exvD2nJG8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7exvD2nJG8
- TigeriusKirk 6y agoI was pleasantly surprised watching the tv show Devs when they made very effective use of "Come out"
- bch 6y agoSteve Reichs work is brilliant. I also enjoy the Reich Remixed album (c 1999) which was (as I think of it) a modern take on modern music - interestingly, I’d say the “modern take” part has aged the worst, but it’s still all good fun. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lYC12ZK5DudCAdFa3Bh1m9aJ0SFQwtWUg https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lYC12ZK5DudCAd...
- taliesinb 6y agoHaha I was going to mention Reich Remixed! I spent a lot of time programming to that music when I was a teen. Definitely fun! My favorite track was probably Nobukazu Takemura’s remix of Proverb https://youtu.be/-ipSM8bwo4M https://youtu.be/-ipSM8bwo4M
- PaulDavisThe1st 6y agoThe big problem I had with Reich Remixed is that all but one of the pieces completely ignore the meter of the originals and force them into 4/4. Call me a pedant or something, but I just found that unforgivable.
- bch 6y agoHuh - I didn’t notice that, but that’s something for me to now look for. “Pedantic” is not the word I’d use to describe your observation here re: Steve Reich, master of phasing and polyrhythms and rounds.
