I also need impressions for this piece, The Second Dream Of The High Tension Line Step by La Monte Young. so please send a 2nd questionnaire with your impressions about Young's piece written in any of the boxes---just make sure to write "Young/Second Dream" before starting to write so that I know it's not for one of the 3 other pieces that the questionnaire is designed for.

Thanks. just listen to the music and give your impressions/ free association comments. it's actually pretty fun.

Steve reichs' music is so hypnotic, I think I know why! Hynotists use a swinging pendulum to hypnotise people, they get hypnotised by the pendulum because it is a repetitive movement, it is the same with sound, if you repeat a sound over and over with subtle variations then the listener (if they can concentrate hard enough) will be hypnotised, therefore repetition could be the key to hypnosis! Steve reich is the best composer I have ever heard!

I was driving in Mexico in 1987 listening to that fabulous music after a visit to the Pyramids- and i ended up entering the back bumper of a truck and demolishing my Volkswagen Atlantis! I survived unharmed.

This music is so simple and yet so complex.
