    A brilliant composer, just read about him recently! Heartbroken to hear about how he spent his last years, unrecognized by a musical establishment that only recognized his talents far too late.

      dude there's a big difference between bach and this motif. this is do-re-mi looping for 8 minutes straight. it's pretty annoying in my opinion, gets better after the first section.

    This would sound right at home on a Sufjan Stevens album, wouldn't it? I've heard him cite - and musically quote - Terry Riley and Philip Glass before. I wonder if he also was into Julius Eastman.

      If you think about it, they were pretty much contemporary musicians and honestly this work is superior. It doesn't fall under a mere technique aspect as in let's say "Music for 18 musicians" which is a major work by Reich and is made around the same time

      Bad take. Eastman is easily on the level of Young, Riley, Reich, Glass, and Cage, but was too progressive and black for the straight/white - dominated Minimalist movement. "Stay on It" is joyous and raucous, qualities that are missing from Minimalism's standard austerity. It takes someone like Eastman to show that minimalism isn't as neutral as it looks. He used it as a tool to express difference, both personal and artistic, rather than similarity.

      holy shit you can actually recognize shared musical genealogies, you're so close to actually being able to understand the work, but you're still mired in the mythology of Music History as a linear march of mechanical progress. Eastman's intuitive command of the minimalist idiom was far beyond anything Reich managed to spew forth in his supposedly long and storied career
