Dartmouth Contemporary Music Lab: Pendulum Music by Steve Reich

[82Neu]

Fucking hipsters!

[altoid360]

This fucking sucks

[paldeescombra]

I think that OPIE of family guy comes on the scene about 3:40 minutes

[Ocielocique]

...amazing, those fine and talented young microphones out there today, they always end up on the same chord.....

[rockon2112yyz]

that woman on the left is not having a good time. haha

[ProminentLilt]

Dartmouth should have stopped the foodback about a minute earlier though...

[MultiGalmeida]

There is no hope for mankind.

[Jeremiahdvorak1]

@MultiGalmeida Why not?

[nancysloper]

Other versions on youtube are too grating with high pitched sounds, this works for my ears really well, very enjoyable. Well done!

[Jeremiahdvorak1]

My concentration fades in and out as I listen to this piece, and whenever it finds its way back, I discover that the piece has progressed to a new and wonderful place.

[kboy000]

the score says you should be using identical microphones

[DavidSabine]

@kboy000 Good observation. Starting at 1:18 you can see clearly that the unique microphone+speaker is also producing a very unique feedback -- a high frequency squelch rather than the mellow low tone of the other three.

[Null5423]

well that fucking sucked, why are those people clapping! find some real art.

[MajereRaist]

My ears are bleeding. Not a good idea.

[guitar17johnny]

an interesting concept. each pendulum on it's own keeps it's rhythm(not counting the air drag), but the different deflection, and the different swing speeds....well, not my everday music-meal, but I like it.

[pyromohanzed]

wats a music-meal?

[guitar17johnny]

@pyromohanzed sorry, I wrote that a bit unclear. I meant the music which I consume, in other words "eat" (stupid comparison) is the meal. music-"meal"

I know, stupid equation, but usually I write straight what comes to my mind.

[Dez29302]

I'd have to be on my 24th beer in order to sit through this whole piece.

[PSearPianist]

5* for the coolness of this piece, and the amazing amount of work that must have gone in to setting up the performance!

[egapnala65]

Hauntingly beautiful, in its own peculiar way.

[spockezri]

@egapnala65 I agree. I actually like it. This is probably a contributing factor to the fact most people find me rather insane :P
