If they had, they would have worn concert black. It's about the music, not the performers.

4:24 it randomly formed a kind of e minor arpeggio with the passing f#. I know it's nothing related to tempered tradicional music but it's funny to see these things happening randomly.

Surprisingly engaging. There's even some sense of resolution when they accidentally line up together, or when finally in the end all of them line up to produce one blob of noise.

This is a set piece built in 1966 but performed con-temporarily. Today's artists just don't have the same mind set to start the mics swinging as they did back in the glorious 1960's. It's all in the wrist.

The score is a simple bit of text stating that the mics should all be released at the same time, thus making the element of phase more apparent to the listener. I'm really glad this video was made and presented, I just hope next time it will be done correctly!

Sounds very different from the recording I've heard. I guess things like the lengths of the cables, closeness to the speakers and a number of other factors can totally change the way this piece sounds.

@whitey138

7 жыл бұрын

Robert Wilks The cable length doesn't really have much to do with the frequency that a mic feeds back (unless it's a really poor quality cable and then the noise piles up fast). Different mics and speakers all feed back at different frequencies regardless of the distance but they used the same speakers and mics for all four tones so I'm guessing it was intentionally EQed this way.

@johnrenner1506

7 жыл бұрын

The length of the pendulum determines the period of its oscillation. The dimensions of the room and the distance from the microphone to the speaker affect the frequency of the feedback. As the angle that the pendulum moves through decreases, the period stays the same but the mic spends more time in proximity to the speaker. And then the doppler effect is what ultimately gives you that slide between pitches. Sorry, I mostly wrote that for myself. This one sounds much different from the original because it looks like they took the time to do a lot of calculations in positioning everything so that the result would actually be in a key

Exquisite. I love the French-style tap-dancing at 5.33.....

crazy how clams turned this into a crip anthem

The idea behind this piece (as many others of Reich) is that the creativity of the composer is no more in the sound result, but in the creation of a process; then the sound is just the result of the process itself… (here purely mechanic and without human intervention, in other pieces the process is played by the interpreters…but the idea is the same). This is a development to his extreme of an idea which is already present even in a Bach's fugue or in a Mozart's sonata… but now the process has take over the specific decisions of the composer and it has became itself "the composition" and the music is merely the "illustration" of a specific process to the listener… for this from performance to performance the music may change, but the process remains the same… This idea characterizes all minimal music but can be found also in other contemporary composers i. e. John Cage, etc…

Impresionante! y la tocaron toda de memoria!

An excellent performance... Delightful

+lulubelle padieu each of speakers placed pointing upwards on the floor is connected to the microphone which hangs directly above it. As the microphone swings past the speaker it creates a feedback loop which produces the sound you hear, as the speaker swings away the loop is effectively broken and the sound stops. The longer a microphone spends directly above it's own speaker, the longer the feedback sound will be heard.

dopo questo mi rendo conto di non aver mai vissuto *davvero* GRAZIE

Damn I love this soo much❤❤

Brilliant! just an awesome idea...

Music is nothing but an art form whose medium is sound. If you say this isn't music, then there can be no music. Simply because there is no carefully considered choice of chords or words or rhythms does not make it any less viable than anything else. Instead of creating a finite, individual song, Reich's created an infinitely variable concept that can be played by literally anyone. Isn't that simply stunning? Without any professional training, just a very basic explanation, you can play a piece of music that encompasses a highly advanced concept, that of chaos? The same goes for John Cage's "4:33" that I've seen mentioned below. That piece should never be "performed" by an individual, just showcased to a participating audience. This is still groundbreaking now, 57 years after its' creation. That says a lot.

Of course it is music, but to say it's good music or impressive music is something that the public mind I think tells you the most about. That public hasn't changed its opinion. Art snobs will always be art snobs, and tell you that anything can have a profound meaning as long as you attach the right story to it. The artist can do what it wants, but this piece doesn't enlighten me in the slightest.

@ollimoore

6 жыл бұрын

Torchkas-alt I personally would say this piece is more about being interested in the sound and the effects of chance than enlightenment. Not aware of a profound story or message attached to it either. Which isn't to say you need to like it of course, it's a matter of personal taste. It's not unheard of for members of the public to spend untold sums of money to watch their idol lip sync their way through a song they didn't write. You'll forgive me if I make my own mind up.

this music sound like a bad case of growing anxiety and I really like it. I am weird, yes, but this is cool.

Really, really fabulous!

Stupendo esperimento. Steve Reich un grande

the 4 minute mark is the greatest

I like the bit near the middle where it makes chords and sounds pretty.

Thanks for posting, I have never seen/heard this piece actually realised. Of the "famous" minimalists, Reich's pieces always seem the most elegantly thought-out, a perfect balance of form and content. Significant that he studied philosophy, perhaps? I'm perplexed that Welshhobo doesn't see the relation to Reich's later, more conventional, work. This is not about shocking or conning anyone. As others here point out, and as Reich's own essay suggests, it's music as a gradual process.

This is a fascinating performance

What I've learned from this, is that like the mics, you must let things go. That's when life happens.

Real, actual music. Awesome.
