"Come out to show them."
Steve Reich: one of the pillars of minimalist music, and not only that.
Minimalism is not for everyone, and it's a fact, but for those who are interested, this "compilation" is the perfect window to approach it.
Four compositions, among the most classic in his repertoire, that thoroughly explore the compositional technique of phasing: two pieces for magnetic tape ("Come Out" and "It's Gonna Rain"), one for piano ("Piano Phase") and one for the human body alone, preferably hands ("Clapping Music", which draws inspiration from African music).
The progression is always linear but, as you may have already imagined, throughout their course the voices and/or instruments will unite and merge, creating apocalyptic repetitive vortices, with the power to violently distort the mind in odd times.
The genius that meets our ears is of inestimable value. The influence it will have on electronic music is evident, and the numerous extracted samples are proof of this.
It can induce sweet epileptic seizures.
