"Steve Reich is a living legend in the world of contemporary classical music. As a leader of the minimalist movement in the 1960s, his works have become central to the musical landscape worldwide, influencing generations of younger musicians, choreographers and visual artists. He has explored non-Western music and American vernacular music from jazz to rock, as well as groundbreaking music and video pieces. He toured the world with his own ensemble and his compositions are performed internationally by major orchestras and ensembles. Now Reich sits down with past collaborators, fellow composers and musicians as well as visual artists influenced by his work to reflect on his prolific career as a composer as well as the music that inspired him and that has been inspired by him." -- Publisher marketing.

Interesting submitted by jibkidder on June 19, 2022, 9:46pm Like Brian Eno mentioned in this book, Reich is a composer who might only affect you once - his work might change your brain, but then you might have little use for him. That's the way I feel, sort of in agreement with Eno, especially the early tape pieces, otherwise, I'm much more interested in non-metric minimalism, e.g. Ellen Fullman. The pulse sort of pulls me out of the trance. But it is interesting to read these convos and get more of a sense of who Reich is and what's going on with his compositions.
