Steve Reich : the father of minimal

[needle ninja]

While doing research on my paper about techno, I came accross this man's name and listened to his classic pieces.

 

Definately one of the most interesting stories in 20th century music.

This guy has composed some trippy-ass music! My dad introduced me to 6 Pianos, so hypnotizing and trippy it goes beyond most so-called psychedelic music! And sorry, I couldn't find any proper youtube links

Steve Reich created some of the most beautiful Musique Concrete peices.

 

Check out, Piano Phase, listen to the extreme depth and complexity created by simply phasing short piano tape recordings in and out of time & stereo. It has quite a hypnotizing quality.

 

If you like Reich you may also enjoy Karlheinz Stockhausen.

Producers of trance and minimal could learn a lot from Steve Reich; simple but not simplistic.

I listened to Music for 18 musicians (on Spotify) yesterday , and I'm very impressed by it.

 

Great recommendation!
