Tune in to Midnight Express on Tuesday, October 25th @ 11:59PM as DJ Sparkle Motion celebrates the 80th birthday of minimalist composer Steve Reich! In the early days of his career, Reich spent time in the Bay Area, driving a cab, composing soundtracks for experimental films, and working with the San Francisco Tape Music Center along with Terry Riley, Morton Subotnick, and others. He earned a master’s degree in composition from Mills College in Oakland where he studied with Luciano Berio and Darius Milhaud. Listen to how his early accidental musical tape ‘phasing’ became a catalyst for everything that followed, from ‘Come Out’ to ‘Radio Rewrite’.
