It tis like a culmination of efforts from 1,000,000 years, from sea to land to tree to plain to city - humanity's evolution, as if always moving up towards the higher places - towards the light.

This music is written on my soul

Reich is perfect

"And now, the news...."

[@Koettnylle]

Haha i get you

[@marcsmith7789]

I think this demonstrates how big of an impact Reich's music has had on our culture- in ways we might not even be conscious of. I notice Reichian sounds in movies, TV, commercials, and like you said, in the news reports...

[@Eorzat]

@@marcsmith7789 Same with Philip Glass. They've both had a massive impact on music.

[@Jeffersonianwisdom]

hahaha my wife says this all the time

[@adriramos4761]

Incredible

[@ingridamanzoor3026]

This is peace of the art. Marimba like instrument is not giving many chances to express some important parts of human soul. But when You are listening this, You are feeling Yourself not a human with flesh, but so easy, like a weather, like cloud. And this is just because of the Steve Reich - the perfect musicion and artist with big hart. Live 1000 years. I love You, like human, Steve REICH

Have you been drinking too much lately?

[@ingridamanzoor3026]

Something wrong withmy english? I am english speaking

[@Eklektik40]

If you say so... but it's also your thinking. I don't know who told you Reich was a "musicion" with a big "hart". But that's pretty silly in itself. And funny. Enjoy your flesh and humanity. I gotta take a shit now.

@@Eklektik40 geez bro let the non English speaking guy enjoy the music and express himself how he feels dawg have you been drinking ?

[@Eklektik40]

@@josephkiesel4695 In 3 years? Yeah, I sometimes drink. But only blacked-out once. Why do you ask?

[@tadeoluna1412]

in case anyone was wandering, this piece goes through three sections in which it changes its mode
0:00 - I (Db Major)
5:50 - II (Eb Dorian)
12:50 - III (Bb Natural Minor)
(these are actually just approximate marks I made for studying this, but I'm leaving it here for everyone)
(note that these are only valid for this recording; other performances may vary, as such is the nature of the piece)

[@jorgebarcelo7716]

This is great, if only it was 7 marimbas tho...

[@m____w____6981]

I wrote an amazing piece for "7, 654, 321 marimbas and a Tuba", but we are waiting to clear cut a Brazilian rainforest to obtain enough wood for the marimbas.

[@alternateVSNS]

@@m____w____6981hahahaha I cannot wait to see the venue where this piece will be interpreted.

[@guikirsch9758]

This song is especially good because it can give you a completely different perspective to listen to all music to. I can feel the music in my body and mind, with scenes unfolding in my imagination. It's also amazing to hear contrasting pitches on the same note because of the nature of marimbas, which is not one of frustration with intonation most other instruments have. This piece, to me, just like "Music for 18" and "Octet" involve an experience where it feels like I'm communicating with a god.
Steve Reich is a genius.

At 12:50 when the acid kicks in

[@toscoreacityteam7402]

Oh wow it's the same as six pianos didn't know that

[@skolamaria4090]

+To Score a City Team Now you know - great, eh?

[@louthewatcher]

It is Six Pianos, scored for Marimbas and also in a different key to make it possible to play.

[@darylcumming4817]

😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@skolamaria4090]

Nach wie vor - eins der wunderbarsten Stücke von ihm. Eine "flotte" Version von Six Pianos dazu.

[@enriqueali]

Is this sped up from the original recording? It sounds slightly faster somehow

susumu yokata - blue sky

[@post.hack.depression]

Feel like something like this was a heavy influence on King Crimson’s 80’s output

[@CaseFamily]

I hear its influence in that Tangerine Dream "Love on a Real Train" from the Risky Business soundtrack.

[@Blank_Frank]

"Waiting Man" on Beat or even the title song on Discipline... lovely stuff !

[@guikirsch9758]

Adrian Belew met Robert Fripp at a Steve Reich concert

I think this is the sample of Oval- Do while.
