the program is staggering. the tickets are in most cases only $10. Reich, Branca, Part, Monk Glass, Cage. this is going to be off the hinges.i was told by some high ups that this program is a one shot. these peices of music will most likely never be performed again in such a series. let's face it... this ain't bach and vavaldi. this is some obscure shit that does not exactly pack em' in. so get your ass down there for the performances. a good turnout will insure that things like this keep happening in major halls.$10 tickets. I bought a bunch to three different performances today.Branca: Symphony No. 13 for 100 electric guitars, Hallucination City...

I am gonna trade Rape_Donkeys to Dan900282787298 for a copy of "Sound Of Collapsing Bricks", all so he can see this. I think his svelt frame will fit in a standard record mailer.
 
Not to be a hater, but the programs are a little 'stuffy'. NYC has fresher stuff in this area of music happening on the regular with no fanfare, fancy hall, or fuss.

Haha - hi JP.
 
FUCK!

Why couldn't this have happened last year?

i have a butthole and will be there. it is going to be a meeting of the minds. my ass with the music of steve reich. look for me. i will be the guy in the nosebleed seats with the lizard eye. i am sorry to say the weekend reich performance is expensive so it was nosebleed all the way. the weekday performaces are $10. branca will melt your face. if you guys dont go to this you are the biggest backpackers ever.

OK. Meeting of the minds (with optional buttholes, nosebleed, and sizzling doo doo). I'll be there.

yea the disney hall is a little but of a buttcramp but the sound and scale is just right. im excited. lets do this!
 
i know this will tarnish my "big dude status" but what is good here? all of it i'm sure. it all sounds interesting, the minimalist art and architecture movements really resonate with me, but i haven't much knowledge on minimalist music, nor an unlimited budget.

reading the brief by john adams hasn't really helped the selection process. it did make me feel better that though i don't know about minimalist music, he doesn't seem to know about minimalist architecture...

...or the uncluttered lines of Richard Meyer's Getty Museum may all be textbook cases of [minimalism]

calling the getty center minimal is like calling shell corporate headquarters minimal. boring is not minimal, office park not minimal... anyways.

i was planning on checking out the two $10 nights just to get the concert hall experience and architectural mind melt.

what else is not to be missed minimalist music action?
 
spaceghost.

here is my opinion...

Reich is one of my favorite dudes from the movement. He basically makes this altered states shit where he places a trance on you by using symmetry and repetition and restricted instrumentation.

In example a bunch of heads with marimbas repeating the same pattern until your face melts. Or the one that I am for sure going to is the four organs one. I have the record on nonsuch. It is kind of like a mad hip hop loop in an odd way.

The Branca thing is the one that everyone wants to go to. Basically it is a symphony for 100 electric guitars. Think about that for a minute. When have you ever heard 100 electric guitars at once! incredible.

I am going to Sunday afternoon and then Wed. and Thurs. nights.

A lot of good stuff I am going to miss though.

This Meredith Monk woman is really interesting.

I am thinking about having a few people over to my studio before the branca since my studio is down the street. Hit me up.

my friend once played me something by part. it was super mellow and emo sensitive. sunday night is monk and part but i do not know if it is $10.

i already chalked up to pay for the reich program sunday at 2pm. nosebleed for $35.
