Is there literally anything in this man's catalog better than or on par with Music For 18 Musicians?
/minimalism/
Ian Perez
Jaxon Reyes
The 9/11 album
It's actually very good
Juan Nelson
No, but Clapping Music, Come Out, Music for Wooden Blocks, and Piano Phase are interesting at least.
Gabriel Campbell
>The 9/11 album
For a second I thought you were mistaking Reich for the composer of The Disintegration Loops, but I'll be damned, "WTC 9/11". Checking this out, thanks user

is much more interesting and succinct
Wyatt Cruz
Alright, you're right. I was going through MF18M hoping to find what originally drew me in, but this piece is precisely those moments I was hoping to find, but in every newly introduced idea.
This is a better piece.
Kevin Long
I don't think there's anything as good but he has some other amazing stuff. My favourites are
>Four organs
>Drumming I-IV
>Music for mallet instruments
>Different trains
Levi Ramirez
Zachary Sanchez
Americans should just stick to blues derivatives holy shit
Kevin Roberts

Glassworks, Music For 18 Musicians, the list could go on...
Nathan Brooks

Desert Music is literally his only worthwhile piece. Everything else he's done just sounds like a mediocre retread.
Thomas James
This 100%
Ryan Sanders

Babby's first minimalism
Luke Hall
Where to start with minimalism? I've listened to The Pearl (Harold Budd / Brian Eno with Daniel Lanois), Outside the Dream Syndicate (Tony Conrad with Faust) and Ambient 2: The Plateaux of Mirror ( Harold Budd / Brian Eno). I wasn't really impressed by anything other than Ambient 2, which isn't just minimalist.
Xavier Wright
mfw none of those are minimalist
Aaron Jackson
That's why I wanted some recommendations for "pure" minimalist albums.
Owen Anderson
Never go full pseud, kids.
Adrian Bennett
Anyone here a Wim Mertens fan?
youtube.com
Or any music similar to his Belly score?
Grayson Howard
Reminder that nothing past 1970 is Minimalist. Minimalism referred to the experimental practice of excessive repetition in pieces like Piano Phase, Come Out, and Four Organs. Anything involving any intuitive musical development like Drumming or MF18M is Post Minimal.
Nicholas Harris
Don't mind me, just posting the greatest minimalist album of all time.
Joshua Allen
Weak b8
Kayden Jones
Come Out is the greatest composition of all time.

Proverb is a musical composition by Steve Reich for three sopranos, two tenors, two vibraphones, and two electric organs. It is set to a text by Ludwig Wittgenstein.[1] It was written in 1995 and was originally intended for The Proms and the Utrecht Early Music Festival. It was premiered at Alice Tully Hall in New York City on February 10, 1996 by Theatre of Voices with Paul Hillier, to whom the piece is dedicated.[2]
Proverb was written during a period when Reich was experimenting with "speech melody", and is influenced by the period Reich spent working on The Cave with Paul Hillier and singers with a strong background in medieval polyphony. This is especially apparent in the two tenor parts, which pay homage to Pérotin and organum in their use of rhythmic modes and pedal points. The text is: "How small a thought it takes to fill a whole life!" This text is an excellent explanation of the piece itself, as well as perhaps Reich's career, much of it spent exploring minimalism.
