Steve Reich "The Desert Music".

Been a few years since I put that on. Used to be one of my preferred painting recordings.

Reminds me of a program I saw S.R. on years ago where he described a performance of one of his all-vocal pieces that involved discordant notes in a round, adding a new element each time. It was composed to really get on the nerves and under your skin (not in a good way). He described the audience getting more and more irritated under an old lady went storming down the aisle and started screaming and banging her cane on the stage.

This CD is not like that however.

I should randomly pull out an old vinyl recording. Haven't spun the turntable in ages.
