Piece a day - Day 17
Okay this one probably isn't for most of you out there. Today I was inspired by thinking about the moment the light bulb when off in my head in terms of composition. I was in a music class at school, studying for my GCSE in music, and the music teacher brought in some Steve Reich and it BLEW my mind....those of you who know me well know how much I harp on about what an effect it had on me.
So today I thought I would write something Reichesque, so yes it is in a 20th Century vein, reminding my of my composition classes at Goldsmiths University. Most of you will hate it no doubt, but if you are interested, why not try listening to some John Cage, Steve Riech, John Adams, Edgard Varese and Pierre Schaeffer. Whilst it was musique concrete which truly inspired me, this piece is along the lines of Reich: Different Trains....
