Influences: If we look at the first phase of Steve Reich's career, we see playful polyrhythmic experiments such as "Clapping Music". The second phase was one of repetitive, evolving phrases played on percussive and mallet instruments "Six Pianos" or "Music for Mallet Instruments". The third phase took his early interest in cut-up voices and combined this with layered polyphony: "Different Trains" or "Electric Counterpoint". We are heavily influenced by the third Reich.
Sounds Like: MENSA-members with musical instruments. Just imagine the possibilities.
