i was lucky enough to have in my concert hall (well the one i manage at Middlebury College, anyway) a performance by Steve Reich and his company of musicians. it was a remarkable evening made even more enjoyable by meeting a fellow looper's-d contributor, Todd Reynolds. geek talk was kept to a relative minimum, though how to unsubscribe was touched upon. the program was: Clapping Music New York Counterpoint Drumming, pt 1 Nagoya Marimbas Different Trains it's one thing to hear recordings of Reich's works and a totally different thing to be in the room while the musicans are performing. really inspirational! the only downside was my looping rig wasn't up and running when i finally got home. that's okay though. hearing Different Trains made me head for my sampler instead. Mr. Reich also spoke at the beginning of the concert and dedicated that evenings performance to four Middlebury College students who were killed at the beginning of the week in an auto accident. a very nice gesture. 'scuse me, i gotta go practice now. m p.s. - another highlight? watching Reich do some of the house sound mix himself. ===================================================================== = = = M a r k C h r i s t e n s e n = = Cramped Quarters Studio / Jasperpottamus Music Publishing = = internet: murkie@middlebury.edu = = http://www.middlebury.edu/~mchriste/murkie.html = = = =====================================================================
