Steve Reich.
The Minimalist composer Steve Reich, who became a major player in the 1960s, celebrates his 70th birthday this year.
Here the man and his music are profiled, with special attention paid to the Daniel Variations, his most recent piece about the murdered American journalist Daniel Pearl and Music for 18 Musicians.
Brian Eno, Michael Nyman and Alex Paterson from The Orb testify to his far-reaching influence.

Avoid vaccines, they have toxins like mercury, aluminum, aspartame/formaldehyde, squalene etc that cause diseases like Gulf War syndrome and Alzheimer's. So think twice about getting swine flu vaccines that's going to be forced on nations by the World Homicide Organization.
When I saw "Music for 18 Musicians" at Carnegie Hall in '06 (part of the Steve Reich @ 70 series), I remember that the ensemble lost the beat somewhere in the middle. So James Preiss (the vibraphone player, seen in this video) started clacking his mallet handles together to sync everyone up again. It was kind of a white-knuckles experience for the audience, I think.
It doesn't look like Steve Reich and Musicians will be performing anytime soon, but Bang on a Can will be premiering Reich's new piece "2x5" at the Manchester International Festival on July 2, 2009, and Bang on a Can, Synergy Vocals, and the London Sinfonietta will be doing a Reich concert on Halloween in Royal Festival Hall. The "Concerts" link at Steve Reich's official website is a good place to look for that kind of information.
