If you like minimal music, check out Simeon ten Holt's
'Canto Ostinato'
....it's a piece for 4 piano's and it's amazing.

his early stuff seems the most interesting...Koyaanisqatsi
is accessible and cool, but he rerecorded it to make it
sound more "mature".

Anyone into Steve Reich? I've only got one record but its
class. I've been meaning to get an album of remixes by
contemporary artists. Don't know what its like though.

I've also been meaning to check out John Cage and Terry
Riley. Any pointers would be much appreciated.

I have Steve Reichs Drumming which is very hypnotic, I love
it. I think you can get a few Cage and Riley MP3s for free
on epitonic.

Reich is great
check out Music for 18 musicians & the desert music

cage did a lot of experimenting with music, he had a song
where he threw dice for each note and determined the pitch,
velocity, distance to next note etc.
Sounds surprisingly good

I don't really like Cage. I think he goes a bit too far with
experiments and random things. Didn't he compose a piece
that would take like 700 years or something? I'm sorry but I
think that's not musical but just strange for the sake of
it. Maybe it was fun in the 60s or something...

Einstein on the Beach is the Glass that I most recomend. For
Reich I am most fond of Different Trains. I also recomend
the composer Arvo Part, if you are most interested in
minimalism.

yeah, Cage put together a piece spanning a little over 16
years. It opens with something like 3 months of silence,
and is actually being performed (as of a couple of months
ago) somewhere in Germany at a church.

I like some of Cage's ideas, but he seems to take them too
far to actually be enjoyable. Phillip Glass and Kronos
Quartet on the other hand are pure class.

i'm supposed to be composing a piece in a combination of
philip glass and stece reich's styles...... but i need some
inspiration..... cant really get the track going anywhere,
but maybe thats the way it should be

are there really any "original" Cage recordings that you can
get, or are most of them really just conceptual, making a
recording sort of pointless.
