To call Philip Glass "dreadful" is a sign of sheer idiocy.

Speak for yourself. I love Reich and Adams, but I can't stand Glass. To each their own, but at the end of the day, for me it doesn't matter how compositionally 'clever' or virtuosic it is, if the end result sounds like shite, and that's what most Glass music does for me.

mmmmm... i am in love ^_^

well if you find it hard, you need to work on that. get practising.

Mmkay, obviously I was wrong. =P However, it sounds like there's a bit of tempo messing between the marimba and the voices. The marimba's holding a steady tempo, and it feels like the voices are behind a bit. I think that might've been what I was getting confused on.

I find it hard to repeat traids over and over. Only a true composer could write that stuff on paper...

though generally i dislike minimilism, like john adams or the dreadful phil glass, i do really enjoy reich. that one piece played by kronos quartet (triple quartet) is pretty cool.
They took it so fast...sounds to me like the bass clarinets are struggling to keep up a bit, and the pulses go by awfully quick, too. They're meant to be extended longer than that, aren't they?

Hmmm... compare this tempo to the tempo of the studio recording, then get back to me.

Why do you only 'think'? Have you heard a lot of his stuff? If you're laid back and drama-free, you'd like Steve Reich! He's an amazing man.
