@JayRey does the youtube if you read their KZfaq description, they say their music is easy to be turned into a meme. So highly doubt it's Steve Reich.

This is all really moving, the interview, the description for the video. I never thought the main stream world of music would shine light upon Art/Avantgarde Music. A well done job and video thanks for the post! To all the Musicians out there keep writing and making your mark! Namaste

Steve Reich basically said it in so many words that it`s natural to be heavily influenced by people and events and styles but that in the end you must primarily be an unforced 'individual' with your own voice. Individualism is paramount. I agree with other commenters...beautiful interview by a knowledgeable interviewer who asks pertinent questions and lets his interviewee speak. I`m happy that such a person still exists, or at least did in 2016.

Not often I would say this about any one piece of music, but Music For 18 Musicians had a massive and lasting effect on me. I used to listen to it every day for weeks on end. I love Reich’s work, there’s something almost spiritual about the effect it has on you…. AND, it’s groovy! And Steve’s always does a great interview with articulate answers and humour. Cool dude. Thanks CBC.

1st of all Reich actually swings as opposed to Glass. 2ndly Reich actually grew out of many of his original self imposed limits including most notably static harmonic formats. I like Reich.

Steve Reich is a lovely, humble, incredibly friendly man who freely shares his life and opinions in a most gentle way. Steve is 81 and is doing just great. I saw him 2 evenings, ago. He is a far greater composer than Glass. It is Glass who loves himself. Steve is not the least bit arrogant. Reich is an expert with rhythm, polyrhythms. Glass is, often, such a bore.

I Miss Jian... He wasn't even convicted. Give the guy a break, if we'd have access to _your_ minds and if we'd be able to browse _your_ personal fantasies and perversions, I bet there would be a hell of a lot more people fired. Stop being all fucking sacred and PC, give the man a second chance. A huge amount of talent, wasted into nothingness, because people are self-righteous, petty and hypocrite. This new guy doesn't cut it - he's okay, but not NEARLY as charismatic, inquisitive and talented, as Jian.
@rosskolnikov7 жыл бұрын
Agree that Jian was good, but there was no way he could remain employed by the national broadcaster (essentially on a government salary) after those revelations. No, he was not convicted, but that's not to say that his actions are proclivities are in any way acceptable or respectable. They are not. He is rejected because that's as it should be. If he doesn't like it? Behave differently.
@ANPHKI7 жыл бұрын
rosskolnikov I disagree. It is only an act of hypocrisy, trying to pretend that human beings don't have flaws and even a bit dark aspects to their personal lives. That kind of thinking breeds a withdrawn culture, it creates taboos. It's essentially an archaic and ultimately not a healthy way to progress as a society. I mean let's be real: he likes rough sex, that's it. He didn't beat up and rape a 10 year old. So all things considering, It's ridiculous that they sacked him, and didn't give him his job back. It's absolutely ridiculous.

I watched and listened to Ghomeshi's Q like crazy, and he was very good at his job. However, it's so hard to believe that there would be that much smoke with no fire. Really, it's just not as easy to confront abuse as people seem to think - especially not when the probable outcome is defeat and public humiliation. And even if the reports of violence were untrue, the stories of his toxic ego that came out at the same time would still make me disgusted with how much time I spent with him. It's one thing to be John Lennon and to do terrible things but repent, it's another to act like the misunderstood victim, which is what Jian Ghomeshi did with zero grace. I don't miss him anymore.
