    Steve Reich sound walls are so hypnotizing.

    A music piece is powerful when you hear more instruments that are not there. Steve Reich creates sounds that only his brain can conceive. He's simply gifted.

      This ensemble plays it well, so the individual parts merges into a whole and those ‘artefact instruments’ you mention come across loud and clear. There are other performances here which are not as tight, and it sounds like 22 people each playing little motifs instead of the dense, emergent piece it should be.

    I was sweating my fretboard wondering whether the camerathem would incorporate the camera squeaks that Steve included in the original composition but I am ecstatic that they were pulled off exactly as written! Bravx!!!

      the beauty and complexity of the camera squeaks is what makes this masterpiece what is it known for, it chills my heart when i hear it

    What were the skies like when you were young?
    They went on forever and they, when I, we lived in Arizona
    And the skies always had little fluffy clouds in them and, er
    They were long and clear

    If you like this, give "I Advance Masked" Fripp/Summers a listen.

      Yeah I noticed that, I thought his hands were shaking and was like poor guy. Then I realised all the sweat on the fretboard, I can understand why though

    The 2nd "movement" reminds me of Robert Fripp-or possibly a Fripp/Eno collaboration?

    • @rs-oq9tw
      @rs-oq9tw 17 днів тому

      Fripp actually was inspiered by new york minimalist comopsers, like Steve Reich

    Awesome! But is that using the in-camera microphone? What about those condensors

    • @sivelexo
      @sivelexo  6 років тому +5

      Yes, it's just the smartphone mic. (Not even a camera...) The condensers were just for live amplification.

    Hello! Such a beautiful performance of this piece. Where can I get the parts for each guitar? I can't find the individuals parts, just the score and the soloist part. Thank you!!!

    • @sivelexo
      @sivelexo  5 років тому +2

      I borrowed it from MDW-library (University of music/Vienna). Don't know where to get the parts... Good luck!

    • @padraicfanning7055
      @padraicfanning7055 4 роки тому

      You'd have to rent the parts from Boosey & Hawkes.

    • @seaofseeof

      Johnny Greenwood with a loop pedal.
      Reich composed it for guitar and tape. The best known performance of it was done by Pat Metheny by himself, with a tape machine. Each of these guitarists can play the piece with just their guitar and a loop pedal too.
