Steve Reich - Eight Lines - www.londonstevereichensemble.com Videos

BlueCougar Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - The "eight lines" version is easier because the part originally written for two wind players is here "distributed" among four players. So most of the time, only two out of four are playing.

Aug 20, 2008 - Funny that you should mention Hiroki Kikuta - I was just thinking that some of Reich's melodies reminded me of game music. For me, the piano sounds akin to some of Masashi Hamauzu's solo piano music. Or perhaps Junya Nakano.

Aug 20, 2008 - steve reich has done it again... i mean- how can one guy write some much heavenly music? this time Reich has added a touch of Stravinskey's Petruska to his heaven harmony. i wonder what's next. oh- and i loved the ensamble. they didn't let steve down. bravo!

Aug 20, 2008 - does this use phase shifting?

rbillia Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - No, Drumming was his last piece to use Phasing, even though basically all his pieces use Canon which he describes as rhythms out of phase with each other.

MrSusanAndHisMirrors Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - Steve Reich has actually changed the way i perceive music. Everything else sounds bland.

musense Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - i love steve reich! it's impossible to buy his CDs where I live ...

Leveretis Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - People always say this. I DOES go somewhere! Just subtly. You have to listen properly to it to notice the slight changes over time. By the end it is quite different from the beginning. You'll see.

Aug 20, 2008 - amazon?

conradsweatman Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - Slight changes. Like the slow growth of something organic. But no grand narrative, as a work of classical or romantic music has.
