Steve Reich in Sydney

[Ian Andrews <i.andrews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I can't afford to go to both.  Anyone got any opinions on what would be the
better show (from a microsound perspective)? I mean is there a piece in
only one of the shows that I just shouldn't miss?

The advertising (targeted at the youth market) describes him as "the
godfather of sampling."
I can't understand why anyone would say this.  As far as I know Riech had
had enough of electronics by 1968. It was too precise for him.  He wanted
human error in the music.  Maybe I can ask him about the sampling tag in
the Q & A if I go on the tuesday.
