First Reich rehearsal

[theraininspain1]

The playing seems fine. BUT THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE MUSIC??? SOUND LIKE A LOAD OF RANDOM NOISE TO ME. AWFUL! Why waste your musical ability on this rubbish thats supposed to be music. Play Mozart instead. (Oh and by the way, im not an old crone stuck in my ways, before anyone jumps to conclusions im 25)

Chill out. It's pretty arrogant of you to assume everyone has to like a certain style of music or it makes them inferior to you intellectually.

I happen to like this song after listening to it on NPR, and I happened to hate it in this video. The problem in this video is that the piano bit is jarring. It's too loud and it sounds much worse here than it does in the actual song. But it's the first rehearsal so whatever.

Great song, and wonderfully composed, but get off your high horse geez...

cool story bro

[DeeCee8121]

Oh, relax. Honestly.

[ReasonTide]

wow this actually gives me a headache its so bad.

post-modern

if a machine coded with styles of the past, or camera can create flawless representations (and filter/effect interpretations) visually.

where can a human go too innovate.. thus the avant-garde,, trying to be different for the sake of different/creativity

OH MAN THESE ARE SOME ROCKIN' JAMS EH GUYS?

Someone please explain to me why this is great music? It feels like it could be nice to listen to at times, but for the most part it's just unpleasant to listen to.

1) The audio quality of this is just terrible. You can't tell the notes or the sound of the instruments.

2)This is the first rehearsal

3)You don't hear the other parts of the music that is playing in their headphones. It's like judging the beatles from hearing just the drummer.

4)Listen to the actual recording

5)I highly recommend 8bb take this video down since so many people seem to get this when googling the piece and judge it based on this video.

[Fishyboy632000000]

Okay, I found an excerpt of it on the internet that is proper, and yes, it sounds much nicer.

[llehmorfzzaj]

where???

[keebr]

some of it is up on his myspace

[llehmorfzzaj]

thank you! (don't you think the woodwinds sound strange?)

[Fishyboy632000000]

I actually found it by Googling "Double Sextet", as the NPR article listed there has an excerpt from it.

[llehmorfzzaj]

yeah, that sounds GREAT!

 :))

much better than the snippet on myspace

[Andjealous]

Why did this win a pulitzer?

[Aroddo]

i think you played some notes wrong ;)

[typhonsentra]

This is... this is awful.

[0neTurbo]

yeah, ive heard some weird stuff but this just gives me a headache.

[jamesvla]

where can I get steve reich sheet music? do you know if he has written any piece with solo viola part (even it is accompanied or so(, or any other minimal composer, like glass or monk)?

[composerjohn]

Congrats to Reich and 8bb!

[schackenderifle]

Yes, I was there with StarrGhost and it was amazing...nice job they did, we have to do it again Starr;)

[StarrGhost]

I saw and heard this in berlin, this piece is just GREAT

[Threepac3000]

...why?

[llehmorfzzaj]

does anyone know when the cd is coming out?

[Threepac3000]

No, but I can tell you how to make your own.

Step 1: Get Blank CD

Step 2: Get Steel Wool

Step 3: Apply Steel Wool to Blank CD most vigorously.

Voila! Your very own recording!

[agincourtdb]

I saw it at the Kennedy Center and it was amazing. Can't wait for the record.

[lsre]

Fantastic!

Good luck with the recording. I'm sure it will be a great success.

LSRE, London

[indiepunkuk]

This looks fantastic... do you have any plans to bring the piece to London or a date when the recording will be available?

[minimalist1984]

Wow! Mr Cello looks so enthusiastic!

[robotssuckass]

Ha...when is the Third Reich rehersal?

[alkovna]

Thanke you! I'm looking forward.

[eighthblackbird]

We will be giving the European premiere in Liverpool, as part of the Liverpool City of Culture Festival, in November 08.

[alkovna]

Post more, pleae! I can't wait this piece. Is there scheduled European premier of this piece already?
