Hello,
Today is the 70th Birthday of composer Steve Reich.
In his honour, I ran Stevie Wonder's "Happy Birthday" through tapiir
(+ jack + rezound)

"Steve Reich (born Stephen Michael Reich, October 3, 1936) is an
American composer. Reich is known as one of the pioneers of minimalism,
although he has increasingly deviated from a purely minimalist style.
Reich has developed a number of very influential compositional ideas
including using tape loops to create phasing patterns (such as in his
first works, It's Gonna Rain, Come Out);" (Wikipedia)

alas no. i was just putting on the headphones in our family living room,
about to listen to some klaus schulze or tangerine dream or whatever
kraut-space-music i had just purchased. the system was set to listen to
BBC Radio 4, and as i put the phones on i came in on the middle of
"music for 18 musicians". at 16, or perhaps any age, and in 1979,
figuring out what on earth that music was seemed impossible ... not
gamelan, not rock, not dub, not space music, not classical, not african
drumming. it changed me forever. sorry there's no good story about
actually meeting reich :)

I'd say most of the times. Musicians use to be very uninteresting
people.

Ah, I like that kind of story, too. That's probably how most musicians would
prefer to be "encountered," anyway, since that's the part they're
offering to
the world.
