The compositional method behind this one is pretty awesome.
The piece itself is an engrossing listen, although those without a patience for ambient/minimalist music will find it grating.
(if you thought the melodies on Reich's Drumming were annoying, turn back.
these blow those out of the water in terms of consonant repetition. luckily, the piece gets quite dissonant at points to alleviate the overconsonance.)
There's no better way to enjoy this than with the score (included in the booklet!) out in front of you, following along.
The bridge between Cage's indeterminate works and Reich's phase works.
Someone on here said that it Reich's Music for 18 Musicians does this sort of thing better.
True, but unfair. This was written about eight years before 18 Musicians and provides the groundwork for pieces like that.
About as far away mood-wise from Reich as you can get, though aesthetically and compositionally related.
One more note: the sound quality of this recording is very tinny. It's not flattering for the piece.
A more modern production with better bass and less treble would serve this well (similar to the newer, fuller 18 Musicians).
I guess I should check out some alternate versions. It's different every time.
