November 1st Show

An extended show tonight, as I filled in for liucubed and sans serif. This gave me the chance to play those 17 minute tracks that I usually can’t fit in to a normal sigtronica show 🙂

I featured three pieces by Steve Reich tonight in recognition of his recent 70th birthday. It’s great that he is recognized by the same system that virtually ignored him when he began his composition career back in the 1960s. The pieces I played were mostly earlier works, showing the development of his phasing technique over time.

Unfortunately I only have the second hour of the show; technical difficulties made the first hour disappear into the Interweb æther.
