Steve Reich

Abrasive, early minimalist experiments for Farfisa organs and swinging microphones. Relentless repetition that transforms from noise into a hypnotic, mathematical grid.

A relentless, mathematical intensity that borders on the hypnotic and the claustrophobic.

Moments Worth Listening For
The jarring entry of the maracas in Four Organs providing a relentless, unchanging pulse against the shifting chords.
The moment in Pendulum Music where the swinging microphones finally settle into a continuous, piercing drone of feedback.
The dizzying, rapid-fire organ patterns in Phase Patterns that create psychoacoustic phantom melodies.
