I really hope everyone here doesn't mind me talking about
this kind of stuff :/ lol

Im hearing a track by Steve Reich called Piano phase...and
after hearing his Violin Phase peice Im really finding it
hard to believe someone could be playing this. Does he
really play this kind of stuff live or is it computer
generated? I mean to make so many changes with so little
keys going so fast, you know the kind of concentration
needed not to screw it up? Especially when the peice is
like 15-18 minutes long? That's utterly beyond human!

instrument

I know that. But for this kind of music. Im beginning to
think no human on earth could possibly play something like
this for so long! Your concentration factor would have to
be beyond human.

They'd have to go into a 'zone' and totally prepare
themselves mentally for something like this. Anything
blocking their thinking when playing will screw them up

Yes I have been dling this stuff all day. I have clapping
song, some of drumming / marimba. I have piano and violin
phase pieces and his proverb peice with human voices (choir
music) which sounds like its being phased. I have a track
call come out that, to me sounds like he's experimenting
with sound waves with a simple voice clip "come out to show
them". This is repeated and gets more and more complex with
echos and all that stuff. Very cool.
