Steve Reich.

The Minimalist composer Steve Reich, who became a major player in the 1960s, celebrates his 70th birthday this year.

Brian Eno, Michael Nyman and Alex Paterson from The Orb testify to his far-reaching influence.

@earlobe1997 He's a fan of Daft Punk.. if you think about the lyrics of some Daft Punk songs, it probably came naturally to him to follow a pattern like this one.

What's the point of writing that so many times?

What I've found also, Tuvan throat singing, binaural pitches hints at a binaural receptive mind? two main aspects of our consciousness residing together eg Beta, theta, or Alpha Delta, so maybe four aspects, someone has to do some work in this area as musicians. A quintet multiplying both aspects creates further subtleties..."maybe"?

5:00 moire patterns, same thing in Aboriginal art, if you stare at particular dot paintings by "elders" they talk another language, hinting at higher states of consciousness, always present but not always "seen". Very David Bohm in concept, implicate hidden aspects of the Universe made explicate. Ancient Shamanism covers this also. Good vid.
