Reich Repetitions — Colin Currie Group
Bold Tendencies, SE15 4TG , [Venue Details]Celebrating American composer Steve Reich with a programme dedicated to his pioneering minimalism.
Steve Reich himself says that the Colin Currie Group’s performances of his music are “the best I’ve ever heard”. Led by Colin Currie, “the world’s finest and most daring percussionist” (The Spectator), his special programme for Déjà Vu spans Reich’s many repetitions.
Music for Pieces of Wood (1973) has a structure based only on rhythmic “build ups”; Six Marimbas (1986), a precursor of ambient and techno music inspired by African drumming and gamelan, stacks eight-beat rhythmic patterns to create a rich and spectacular sonic world; and Music for Mallet Instruments, Voices and Organ (1973) grows spontaneously from one simple pattern, to many patterns played by different instruments.
Join us for an evening of Reich’s heart-and-mind music: early investigations into phase shifting, mid-career interrogations of augmentation and psychoacoustics, and grand, hypnotic later works with formal counterpoint and functional harmony.
