Piano Phase

I find Steve Reich to be a fascinating composer. I don't know how to fully describe Piano Phase. It's harmonious and cacophonous, sometimes at the same time. How does he pull that off? It's usually performed by two pianists. I mean, it makes sense that it would be right?

Then you stumble onto crazy talented pianists like Peter Aidu.


I love it.

And, for good marching-band, pit-playing measure, here's Reich's Six Marimbas. Wow.


And for those of you who like The Gipsy Kings, here's some Clapping Music.
