As a frequent performer of steve reich's music, and knowing how difficult it is, all I can say is, "I'm not worthy"!!!!!

Awesome job! The visual aspect is simply fantastic. Have you folks sent the link to Reich? He would love it! Honestly!

@piliage Actually to us jugglers the idea of doing it musically is more scary! We had another version where the jugglers where closer to the ground and was more faithful to the original....i think Steve Reich has seen it...we haven't heard from him though...we would hope he enjoys it! thanks for comment.

[shrekfan92]

Very synchronized; that is so awesome...The rhythm sounds a lot like a dryer XD

I guess you can get ripped arms by juggling!

almost CGI

Excellent idea for visualizing the piece -- thanks for uploading. Might be worth adding a note as to how the two performers in Reich's original become six.

I was trying to find faults in the formation and I saw stars in daylight.

freakin brilliant.

Cool, but like Riverdance, after 3 minutes you've seen enough.
