Inspired by the Steve Reich-festival here in Stockholm last month I have been playing around with some vaguely Reich-ian ideas in order to understand them better (as a theory-dummy, learning by doing is my only option). A self-educational piece, then, but I felt it gained some independent value as work progressed, and decided to share it.

Cheers!

This is not an exercise but it works very good as a musical piece.
I can understand the style you are succesfully trying to recreate
Nice thing

Cheers

Thanks for lending it your ears, Laguna

Cheers!

Interesting piece apan! I love the variations in the first section where it sounds as if Augustus Loop is processing the piano.

thanks polyslax. yea it is interesting how much sublte variation that can genereted by three superimposed pulses like that. cheers for listening

Definitely worth sharing. I enjoyed it repeatedly. Thank you.

Cheers, guys, thanks for listening. Like the bible-tent reference, made me think of this classic http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59ceORsBT0A&feature=related by another sometime "minimalist".

Inspired by the fact that someone else found this worth a listen I am considering a second, slow part

Best,

Nicely done ! Definitely a la Piano Phase, but a good original "homage" to the style/technique.

Thanks for the music, I hope you'll post more of your stuff.

Best,
