Though I was listening to Ae before i picked up "Music for 18 Musicians," i
almost immediately recognized the similiarity between Reich's piece and say
a track like "Vletrmx21" by Ae. The building layers, the emerging patterns.
I've listened to Penderecki, Cage, and Ligeti and enjoy all of them...a very
strange kind of noise music/ambience by way of traditional instruments.
worth checking out simply for fun.
also see Liget's "Poeme Symphonique for 100 Metronomes" by Ligeti. Just 100
metronomes, at different speeds, clicking down till there are none.
strangely relaxing.
