Steve Reich - South Bank Show - Part 1

[JafuetTheSame]

every time i entered a room and hear music i said:

turned it off, turned it off, turned it off, turned it off, turned it off, turned it off, turned it, turned it, turned it, turned it, turned it, turned it, turned, turned, turned, turned, turned, turned, it's gonna, it's gonna, it's gonna, it's gonna, it's gonna, it's gonna be monotonous

[retroremo]

what's the type of rollercoaster at 6:46?

[doutorronaldo]

does anyone has a video or recording of this version of Daniel Variations shown in the documentary? It's much slower and far more beautiful than the CD version being sold =/

Long GCSE Music Homework

How odd - we react the same way to his so called music -we ask for Reich

be turned off - the height of banality

[accidentalfilms]

Are South Bank shows commercially available in USA?

steve reich rocks

[MIFFLISH]

I dont like this guy. I'm not a big fan of Brahms, but anyone who disses Mahler or Sibelius like that is just completely ignorant.

[andresgualdron]

listen to what he says at the beginning of the second part of this documentary. that explains quite well why he does'nt feel like a part of the european musical tradition and why is he on his right to feel like that.

[MrPeeepeeepeee]

farbeit for me to belittle them... listen, brick.

[narozzz]

At what point did Reich ever tell anyone else how to write music?

[PADSEnsemble]

Thanks for sharing this!

PADS, Rome, Italy

[enigmism4life]

it's funny because phasing is something that anyone who has played with delay time on a pedal has had happen to them, but the way reich organized it is freaking amazing.

[leavingentropia]

different concept

[undersolo]

Check out the book "The Rest is Noise" by Alec Ross. There is a great section on how Reich came to his musical discoveries. Amazing musician and amazing life...

[barrett90]

why is the framerate so slow, its distracting

[tebanrxn]

crador del minimal!!! idolo maestro steve reich

[textur222]

Such a good documentary, best thing I've seen on ITV

[141414abc]

Cool .

[Kevo216666]

I know nothing about him, but this really sounds cool. Reminds be of Velvet Underground.

[undersolo]

He listened to them and they listened to him.

[ukdavepianoman]

Reich is one of the few composers around these days who is producing wonderful, interesting music. He's developed his style, it's more melodic, harmonic, even slightly jazzy. Different Trains is a masterpiece. I love Desert Music, You Are Variations. Probably my favourite piece of his is Cello Counterpoint...very complex and moving.

His earlier stuff is much more repetitive. I still enjoy it, but it requires more concentration to listen to.

[VomitSelf7]

I was totlay suprised after recently hearing about Reich. We were doing the same thing (at different times). A couple years ago, I started doing songs with only a few sounds. I did one track sampling 2 short lines from Harold & Maude and repeated them over and over with very few variations. I did other ones using drums. I'm glad that someone else does it, but I'm upset that I wasn't the first (I thought I was).

Moron!

[robertronics]

"(...)has ????? as a composer of rare invention and originality"

I´m trying to translate this so that spanish speakers can appreciate this documentary too

could you tell me that missing word please?

thank you for sharing!!!!!

[timegrinder]

Hi robertronics, sorry i only just saw your post.

....has 'marked him out' (made him stand out) as a composer of rare invention and originality....

Hope this helps!

[RobTunes]

[drtimdun]

[samstagauslicht]

America's greatest living composer? Don't make me laugh.

[thegreener10]

[thegreener10]

eat an avant garde cock

[h2snow33]

Do u have anything better to do then to tell people who actually know what there talking about to suck a cock. Fuckin grow up dick sweat.

[Userdoe1560]

Who do you think is a great composer, then?

[vw117179157]

ive been waiting for a doc on him for a while now..YES

[korjeklokismo]

Is it a counter tenor singing the high notes at 01:50?

[delbutwilkins]

who did the southbank show theme, it sounds like a beethoven mix to me?

[viharrad]

I think it is paganini caprice no 24

[Danniel33]

yeah, but its the remix by Lloyd Webber.

[subz6]

well done bro

[sdicht]

Excellent. Reich is a genius and this is an excellent docu.

[dreb8239]

Amazing! thanks alot.

[timegrinder]

I thought id post this due to the lack of decent Reich material about. This is a South Bank Show featuring interviews with the man himself, analysis of his career and performance and rehearsal footage of his major works (Four Organs, Drumming, 18 Musicians et al).

Enjoy!
