yeah there will be a series of steve reich concerts at the end of this month see you there, marcin :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
or rather, concerts of the music of steve reich. 'performances' would be an even better werd. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
saw him (he was there too) |
||||||||
|
|

music for 18 musicians was performed live (by bang on a can with steve reich there as well) within a five minute walk of my apartment a few years ago, i found out about it months later. >< i hope you get to hear all the performances! |
||||||||
|

|
|
you or reich? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's a relief |
||||||||

Haha the worst fucking luck ever. I am staying in Dubin for a few days, returning on the afternoon of the 17th. Or in other words, about 4 hours before the festival starts. You have to laugh I suppose. Fuck. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
...fuck. |
||||||||

i'm sorry :( you'll have a wicked time regardless though, no doubt. |
||||||||

I'm actually looking into the poss of changing my flight back. I'm calculating how much it would all cost. Have you got your tickets? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh man they're doing "Three movements". that's one of my favourite pieces! very dramatic, on the edge of melodramatic even. "City life" and "Different trains" are also very, very great. I've never been a big fan of "Music for 18 musicians", myself. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i love it. i'll give three movements a go now, if i have it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Okay I think I'm changing my flight back - excellent :) I love music for 18 musicians, will be the highlight for me I imagine. Though there's loads of stuff I've never heard before so that will be amazing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Redrum, I'm going :) Might be able to catch up with you at one of the concerts. Can't wait - been wanted to see 18 Musicians for so long. :D wooooooo |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
excellent, will keep in touch about it. |
||||||||
|
|

I'm travelling tomorrow mr Drum. Care to recommend some places/bars/clubs/areas of interest for chaps and chapettes areound 19 yrs old? Heard there's a Joyce exhibition on, but will save that for my few extended alone days... |
||||||||

Call yourself a Dubliner???? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ah didn't see your post earlier! and no i'm not a dubliner originally :P erm, pubs i usually frequent (apart from the student ones in trinity) are doyle's (across from trinity, near d'olier street), the ice bar (parnell street, dodgy part of town), ummmm, hogan's (wexford street - the continuation of george's street) and sin-e (on the quays)... i try not to drink in pubs or clubs though because it's too expensive. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Where do you drink then - you mean get your own stuff? Stupid euros. Which of the concerts are you going to btw? Can't wait... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah i usually try to get hammered at house parties instead. the pubs in trinity aren't bad though, 2.20 for a can of bavaria, can't go wrong. |
||||||||
|
|

|

it was cool of reich that he didn't mind being the stereotypical american however :) (it was a stylishly black cap) |
||||||||

thats funny - i was at the dublin airport and read the article on steve reich from the sunday times or whatever it was that had the article on it, the same magazine had a brief interview on william orbit. but obviously i left last saturday, having flown in on friday to play a gig at chq/ifsc. (how terribly non-interesting.) the interview seemed nice! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you should've posted info about that gig.. i would've gone :( didn't do anything last friday. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Im in fair Dublin at the moment. Lots to do. Went to the Guinness storehouse today which was lovely. So, redrum, you coming to any of the concerts? I've got a day ticket for saturday and evening ones for friday and sunday. woooo |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wow, goin crazy are we :D yeah deffos, i've got a ticket for the sunday ensemble modern performance of music for 18 musicians. me mother and father will be joining me and all :D i think toxikfb might be coming as well. hyakusen will certainly be there. must get in touch with him about it actually. would you like to meet up afterwards, at the concert hall, and go for a few bevvies? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sorry, was too scattered to post about it besides theres either too manyplaces to post on, or then it just seems like i post about it at the wrong timeand nothing happens, or something. (didnt think there was interest tbh) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

It would be great to see you if you're meeting up. If you are just post here or drop me an email. Internet cafes are the best invention ever, I think. I'd be wondering around aimlessly with nowhere to stay without them... I'm off to the first concert this evening. Haven't even checked what's being performed. But it will be excellent no doubt. Also - went to Ulysses exhibition today- amazing stuff. Totally inspiring. And Davy Byrne's pub last night. Rock on Dublin. |
||||||||

|
ah yeah sure why not, a pint or two never go astray. i'll have to lose the parents first though :) an email has been sent to your very irish-looking email address :) |
||||||||
|
|

Bought my tickets today, can't wait for this, never went to somethin' like it before. |

has anyone heard his new album, i wondered how it compared to his other work |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have it. I've only listened to it once, quickly, so I can't say that much about it. it reminded me a bit of "the desert music", but only a bit. |
||||||||

Met the man last night, in the early hours, briefly... what a night, totally surreal but wont go into it. Still somewhat dazed. qrter - its being playing this evening, that and 18 Musicians. I think it will be the best one of hte weekend. |

Hey all - just thought some people would like to see my photo of me meeting Steve Reich. They're not great but could be worse. Excuse my grinning in my nervous loser way And here is me with John Kelly who some might know of - we spoke for a good while, got some amazing stories. Pretty amazing couple of days! |
||||||||
|
|

he sure likes baseball caps |
||||||||
|
|

Its something to do with his faith, apparently - kinda the equivalent of a skull cap, or something. |
