So, my brother showed this piece to me a couple weeks back, and I was completely floored. "Music For 18 Musicians (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_for_18_Musicians)" is a 56 minute long "orchestral" song written by Steve Reich that premiered in 1976. It is one of the craziest things I have ever heard. It SOUNDS electronic, but every instrument used is an "orchestral" instrument, or a human voice. I really don't know how to introduce this song, or describe it, but everyone needs to hear it.
I uploaded it to Mediafire for you guys, here (http://www.mediafire.com/?vvzc3mmtnwj).

YOU HAVE BEEN OWNED BY BUTTKILLER!!!!!!
steve reich owns by the way. http://tinysong.com/ctp5 this is another good thing that he did but there are a lot
-
MUSic for 18 MUSICIANS is great. real good. look into minimalism if you like. I also like his Variations a lot, on the soundtrack for CIV IV. all of his stuff is pretty much the same concept check this live performance out
or just do a youtube search for steve reich
-
music for 18 musicians is from the 70s btw. just so everyone knows, this is not something new by some asshole thinking "smirk lets try to make something that sounds electronic/otherworldly but only with real instruments. it'll be like the beginning of animal collective's peacebone"

holly fuck this is absolutely fantastic

maybe now you'll understand why the music we like is the best

!!!!!

I don't know if that's the best drumming video but it's always nice when they set up the drums like that so you get the corresponding visual element of the sticks
here's another good one by two of the same guys: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egwXKQDYcvc

lol

Yeah, Steve Reich is genius. If you guys like this take a look at his Piano Phase. It's basically a 12 note sequence played simultaneously on two pianos and, I don't know the exact mechanics but, every 8 bars (maybe 16?) or so, one of the pianos displaces itself back a note and it does it 12 times until it's back to where it started. I know an alternate way is for one piano to just play just the smallest bit slower (or faster) than the other, but I think that's actually much harder. Either way it's a really cool concept. Reich and all those minimalists basically started techno.

ahhahaha if this would have been done nowdays it would have something stewen wilson would have tried in his solo albums or whatever. IT*S A COOL CONCEPT
-
are you seriosuly doing that. please dont compare s\teev reich to sterven wilson
-
steven wilson strikes me as the kind of guy who would cite steve reich as an influence and then sounds nothing like him.
-
steven wilson strikes me as the kind of guy that can perform autofellatio and will talk to you about it for hours if it comes up and will continue to talk about it as you grow visibly uneasy and after you leave he will call you later and talk about suckin he own dick.

how embarrasing is it to have invented techno
-
techno rules so not very?
-
the answer is i'd kill myself if someone told me i invented techno
-
i just spilled techno all over my pants
-
I don't think they invented techno. I don't think technos even knew about minimalists. yeah they both got a BEAT that might sound a little similar but they try to achieve very different things. there are some techno artists that consciously use minimalist concepts like the Field, but that's something that came later when techno artists actually had access to stuff like 18 Musicians instead of just club shit
ahhahaha if this would have been done nowdays it would have something stewen wilson would have tried in his solo albums or whatever. IT*S A COOL CONCEPT
but if it was steven wilson it would be more like "fart let's do this just for the fuck of it lol it'll be fun shit dump poop"
-
can invented techno
-
this is minimalist music, right?
I heard this when I used to be a composition major and always liked. I went through a week long phase of listening to minimal music, I even got to look at this score. The discipline it takes to play stuff like is crazy.
Good tune
-

seriously, that's the most impressive thing for me. steve reich actually recommends using MORE than 18 musicians for this song. =^_^= <--- lo l
-
I guess theyd need more for when the first 18 fall asleep lol
