STEVE REICH: An innovator, change agent and transformational composer from really early on Steve’s impact on modern music has been mammoth. His early use of tape loops and phasing patterns were at the heart of his early seminal works like “It’s Gonna Rain” and “Come Out” from 1965 and 1966 respectively. Then there’s his “Four Organs” which was very much in the same vein as Phillip Glass and Terry Riley. But it was his “Music for 18 Musicians” in 1978 that really did it for me personally with its hypnotic, pulsating and shifting patterns and tonalities from standard instruments. His other recordings like “Drumming”, “Music for Six Pianos” and “Music for Mallet Instruments, Voices and Organs” are also excellent. Truly one of the most important and influential composers of this century who paved a path that many others have followed.
