Live / Electric Music captures Steve Reich at a pivotal moment in his pioneering career, showcasing his groundbreaking use of phase shifting in both live and electronic settings. Originally composed in the mid-to-late 1960s, these works display Reich's early innovations that helped define the boundaries between electronic experimentation and modern classical music.
This edition presents two essential Reich compositions: "Violin Phase," performed by Paul Zukofsky, highlights the mesmerizing repetition and interplay characteristic of Reich's style, while "It's Gonna Rain" stands as a striking exploration of manipulated sound. Released by Music On Vinyl in 2019 and drawing from the original recordings, this album remains a touchstone for fans of minimalism and lovers of avant-garde innovation alike.
