- How to Sound Like Steve Reich (born October 3, 1936) in celebration of the composer's birthday (a bit belated!). Steve is Reich is a huge inspiration to me and it means a lot to be able to put something like this together.

"I'm going through a Steve Reich phase"
i also was some time ago, now i'm out of that phase
😂😂😂
I keep going in and out of phase. Started listening to his stuff when Music for 18 Musicians came out. Keep coming back to him.
I'm going through a Steve Reich phase shift.
I hope this isn't a phase.
When "How to Sound Like Nahre Sol"?
You do videos about how to sound like other composers
Yeah I feel like Nahre has a really personal style
is she a composer?
I agree with the sentiment, I like to sound like Nahre Sol
@@ANCMMX She is
Would love to see you do one of these for Philip Glass!

BAKER, 1ST AND 2ND WOMAN: Loaf of bread?
BAKER: I need bread!
GLASS, 1ST AND 2ND WOMAN: I know, I know.
BAKER: I need bread!
GLASS, 1ST AND 2ND WOMAN: I know. I know.
BAKER: I need bread!
GLASS, 1ST AND 2ND WOMAN: I know, I know.
GLASS: Isn't that a loaf of bread?
Moving faster and faster through the following speeches.
2ND WOMAN: Think.
1ST WOMAN: Philip.
GLASS: Need.
BAKER: Help.
2ND WOMAN: Think.
1ST WOMAN: Philip.
Philip Glass does the same thing over and over but changes his style like every decade.
Beautiful tribute and Birthday wish to Steve! It was great to hear clips of him speaking about his own musical concepts and techniques. I’m going to go back and listen to my Different Trains CD which I haven’t heard in years in honor of his birthday. Thanks Nahre!
Thank you Rick!!
Different trains is the first Steve Reich music I heard, my father used to play it when I was a kid.. It's amazingly powerful and emotive
So funny and random to stumble upon you here, Rick! How about WMtSG - Electric counterpoint, 2x5 or Music for 18 musicians? :) Your fan, Martin
Cool to see you like Reich Rick!
Rick interview Steve!
Pretty spot on Reich impression..
Thank you!!!
You're the most aesthethic channel ever. Not to mention the mindblowing content. Def on my top three, together with adam and jacob.
🙏 I appreciate it thank you...
Phil had to move, sore critic was throwing stones at the Glass house...
Edward Candle yeah can’t wait to hear Adam+Jacob+Nahre!
I dont think I even classify Reich's music as music anymore. Its art. Just pure works of abstract art.
I have to admit, I was completely unfamiliar with his music before this video. I am now well in the third consecutive hour of listening to his compositions. I came back here to thank you for this! :)
So awesome!! 😀😀😀
How do make this "high art" music so easy to appreciate and enjoy Nahre???
You are such a great communicator.
Thank you so much, I appreciate it 🙏🙏🙏
I love how she's always challenging herself and the appreciation of other forms of music.(It's weird because i was just listening to Steve Reich:Variations for strings,woodwinds,and keyboards and Electric Counterpoint.
Thank you 🙏🙏🙏
The Mr. Rogers clip + piano hands ÷ steve reich = endorphins 🐬
this is the best lesson on minimalist music I've ever heard
actually got goosebumps when the pulsing piano chords came in
Happy unbirthday to you
😀
Happy birthday unto you
Happy birthday to unyou
Unhappy birthday to you
When that City Sounds melody came in at 2:46 I immediately remembered 2013 Bluecoats

This incredibly enchanting work and video essay are so important in so many aspects that I don't know where to start! As a composer, sound scientist, and true iconoclastic Steve Reich has been always representing every part of modernist art and his effect on the music we listen today can never be underestimated. All the movie and game soundtracks, sampling based music, tape loops, art rock, ambient pieces and everything has something from Reich's music and his art has been always new and I think it will keep that freshness forever, maybe people from the future will find it incredibly new and refreshing, too! He's certainly one of the great composers whose creative output has significantly changed the way we understand the nature of music and my life itself has been changed by its influence a lot during many phases! As Anthony Davis said: "The most important contribution you can make to the tradition is to create your own music, create a new music." and Steve Reich has always delved into the hidden parts of the wonder of hearing! To me, he's a brain scientist who knows every unknown functional underpinnings of the brain and can manipulate the sound and composition the way he wants to create transition and impact! Many times, I found myself in a different state of consciousness when I listen to his music... This spirituality, this state of consciousness... I can't thank you enough for introducing all of these groundbreaking artists by staying true to your artistry Nahre! I think as the young generation of the world we need every single enlightenment and understanding and as a great artist and teacher you always try to create this impact by enlightening people's artistic lives! To me, the music of our era is transported by that element that is the general determinant of life and this is change! Everything is changing and you're always willing to be a part of this change by preserving Classical music heritage and this is more than important and influencing! As always, I really love the final piece which at the same time, shows your personality when being reminiscent of Reich's dynamic music! Thank you so much Nahre! The future needs visionary people like you and their iconoclastic works like your original music! 😊👏🧠🙏🎉🤯🚀❤️
Thank you Bati!!!!!
I love that you got me into Steven Reich a bit back, I have loved him ever since, hope you're doing well nahre
Cool! :))
I find Steve Reich compositions to be ultracathartic.
Very odd yet transcendent and paceful sensation.
Brilliant! So musical, and very interesting analytically as well.
Thank you!!!
Steve Reich is one of my music heroes, (I wrote almost the entirety of my masters thesis to his Music For 18 Musicians ) and your arrangement is a beautiful tribute to his style. Great channel!
Stephen Michael Reich ( born October 3, 1936) is an American composer who, along with La Monte Young, Terry Riley, and Philip Glass, pioneered minimal music in the mid to late 1960s.
Reich's style of composition influenced many composers and groups. His innovations include using tape loops to create phasing patterns (for example, his early compositions It's Gonna Rain and Come Out), and the use of simple, audible processes to explore musical concepts (for instance, Pendulum Music and Four Organs). These compositions, marked by their use of repetitive figures, slow harmonic rhythm and canons, have significantly influenced contemporary music, especially in the US. Reich's work took on a darker character in the 1980s with the introduction of historical themes as well as themes from his Jewish heritage, notably Different Trains.
Reich's style of composition has influenced many other composers and musical groups, including John Adams, the progressive rock band King Crimson, the new-age guitarist Michael Hedges, the art-pop and electronic musician Brian Eno, the experimental art/music group The Residents, the composers associated with the Bang on a Can festival (including David Lang, Michael Gordon, and Julia Wolfe), and numerous indie rock musicians including songwriter Sufjan Stevens and instrumental ensembles Tortoise, The Mercury Program (themselves influenced by Tortoise), and Godspeed You! Black Emperor (who titled an unreleased song "Steve Reich").
John Adams commented, "He didn't reinvent the wheel so much as he showed us a new way to ride."
Great video about a great composer!Thank you very much for making this video!🙏🙏🙏
Regards from India!
✔️✔️✔️ ...not to forget David Bowie's Reich-influenced compositions on Side 2 of both Low and 'Heroes'! ♥️
Beautiful und literal moving explanation. It really shows that Steve Reich is still timeless in 2024...
I'm a little spooked it's like slowly driving me into madness and then suddenly stops and makes me even more confused
So happy you're doing more contemporary composers too, I hope there will be a Messiaen special for his 111th birthday in December
This guy is like my favorite modern composer
This was lovely. Thank you.
I saw Steve Reich and his ensemble perform once. At one point there was a problem with the sound system and after some discussion on stage Mr. Reich spoke to the audience with just his voice moving the air. He announced that given the absence of amplification they would perform a composition using wood blocks. They proceeded to fill the auditorium with the phasing poly-rhythms that you beautifully demonstrate. A local reviewer described the work as sounding like a "chorus of creepers." It was really good.
Was it music for pieces of wood? I really like that piece
this is really well done
I played Clapping Music on Typewriter with my dad a few years ago and loved it. Since then I’ve absolutely fallen in love with Reich’s Music.
Really cool arrangement and insight into one of our generations greatest musical thinkers. Thank you for the share.
This is nice❤️ thank you for making this!
This is so amazing Nahre, amazing video quality, and your composition at the end is so good!
Nahre, please do one on Ennio Morricone. Nobody talks about him and his uncannily beautiful sound signature.
Happy unbirthday to everybody!
Absolutely lovely as always!
I'm definitely going to watch this more than once. Very enlightening.
This is so amazingly cool. Thank you for this. I loved your rendition.
Great analysis
Thank you!!!
One of my all time favorites. You did an excellent job!
one of your best so far!
great work as always , thank u .✨
Hi Nahre! As always, your analysis is so good, and the way you're able to express and visualise the concepts in a video format is incredibly impressive. You make it seem effortless, which I'm very sure is not the case! :-) I am, as always, amazed by your talent! And the musical piece at the end was such a beautiful homage it made me choke up.. Really beautiful. Thank you so much for continuing to make these kinds of videos, I am so grateful that people like you exist, and am proud to be a supporter :-)
This is perfect! Thank you!
Beautiful, well done 👏
omg that was insanely good! got shivers at your composition
This music is absurdly strong! Thank you, Nahre, for bring that to us all!
Beautiful piece, thanks
One of my favorite videos. Feel so inspired to make music.
Pretty incredible! great video!
That blue poster on the wall at 3:18 - I went to that! It was at the Royal Festival Hall in London, 1992. One of the best gigs I've ever been to
Thank you! Great video! Inspiring!
amazing arrangement
, got me really emotional
I love Steve Reich - and this was a great explanation of his aesthetic!
Another variant of phasing that I find extremely fascinating is polymetric superposition of the same motif - like taking a motif in 7/8 and overlaying it with itself, but leaving out the last note every other repetition in the overlay.... which, incidentally is exactly what the prog band King Crimson do in the chorus to their song "Frame by Frame" off their album "Discipline" (which is in general a wonderful example of how to create entrancing atmosphere through - among other things - repetition and phasing via polymetric superposition) The Reich Crimson comparison has come up quite often talking to other music nerds - I just love the aesthetic of both :)
Have a listen:

Discipline - th-cam.com/video/uPRordeohvE/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for these additional insights!!
Wow, that was was actually pretty emotional. Great job Nahre
Your videos are wonderful!
nice composition at the end! great!
You did great all around! This was fun.
Happy unbirthday to you too, Nahre. Really great and touching piece. I love it !
His music is so beautiful! Thank you for this video!
It's so refreshing to see an analysis of some of the lesser known composers that I can really connect with. Thank you!
Very cool stuff. Thanks
Nahre, this was really wonderful. Beautiful composition and I'm grateful to you for breaking down the different elements of his compositional style. Most of us probably don't have the background to identify and articulate them so this is a real contribution. Thank you!
Another interesting subject, great channel and great content...
Wow I really liked your happy birthday rendition in his style!! You're amazing :D
Thanks @nahre for having done this video. You made my day
Love all the experimental stuff you've been doing lately, keep it coming! Also, never knew Steve Reich and I shared a birthday until reading the description here, hahah.
As always... brilliant work and insights Nahre !
Thank you!!
always love the video you curate to edit in the video
I really LOVE this series! Your work inspires me everyday Nahre!
Thank you!!
Amazing video, as always and a great rendition of Happy Birthday- pleasant to the eyes and ears . Thanks
Wonderful video :D I love your piece, of course (and that it's available for your Patreon members to download!! 😁), and the visuals during it. Such amazing editing/design!! 🤩
Oh, and thanks for introducing me to yet another new composer :)
You are a real eye-opener with these videos🙏 thank you SO MUCH!
As always--------EXCELLENT!! Thank you Nahre, you are a wonderful teacher.
"How do you make music that makes you want to move, but not change your place?"
So nicely put! I've always likened Reich's music to intricate gear trains or clockworks.
EDIT: Even the removal of the hands are in sequence! Such attention to detail, Nahre! All of your work is so satisfying!
Best one so far. Thanks a lot for making this video !
Just discovered your videos 4 in the morning and I have never been so at peace. Thank you for your content.
beautifully tutorial!!
It's very impressive to see how much you succeeded in sounding like Steve Reich. Great work, as always!
Beautiful. Thank you for sharing this gift.
To my mind, this is the most interesting video you've made so far (as of Aug 2020). I now understand the great composer's method enough to play with it myself. Thank you SO much. And the Happy Birthday idea is SO clever and funny. :-)
this birthday composition is sooooo good. I can't help myself but revisit this video to listen to it
It’s one of the best happy-birthday-musician episode, thank you so much!
Amazing video! Again!
Thank you Nahre, really enjoy your music explorations!
thank you so much for putting this together, i'm currently working on an assignment for my music class, where i have to compose a piece in the style of minimal music using either phase shifting or the additive principle, so this really helped inspire me :D
Lovely and clear explanation and melodic example
Awww, Nahre, I'm always so happy when you release a new video-extra great to see one that also includes Fred Rogers. Thanks for a smile.
NAHRE SOL !!! That's CINEMATIC!!! I LOVE IT !!! I could even recognise some "fragments of the Happy Birthday main theme" there !!! WELL DONE !!!
I just love every video you do, seriously... Youre always giving me a reason to keep on learning more and more of what i love.
Thank you so much!! So happy to read that...
excellent composition!
Thank you Nahre!!! Plus I love your Birthday song.
Awesome... I'm a huge fan of Steve Reich. Great explanation and your piece à la Steve Reich is, like we say in french, la cerise sur le gâteau.
so, so smart. thanks for being an awesome educator nahre!! i learn so much watching your videos!
Your videos aren't just a lesson and study of music, but of editing and visual language as well. Watching your channel has given me a better musical vocabulary, which is leading to a deeper appreciation of classical music.Thank you for these gifts, your work is inspiring.
Your videos are enlightening and inspiring on so many levels. Thank you for blending artistry, virtuosity and authenticity with technology. You give me hope for the future!
Thank you for analyzing Mr. Reich's amazing music!
Lovely Birthday piece.
Good, clear and beautiful! Thank you Nahre Sol.
I remember playing the 1st piano part for dance patterns in the conservatory, it was my first time ever hearing of Steve Reich, I fell in love
Thank you for educating me on Steve Reich. First time I heard him was on a Ann Marie De Kiemaker performance, I felt entranced by his compositions. Love your videos Nahre!
OMG that rendition was so good and accurate
