Phase to Face

NOTES

Der mit dem Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik (Bestenliste 2-2011) ausgezeichnete Film jetzt endlich auch als Blu-ray! Unprätentiös und wunderbar präsent erläutert Steve Reich in chronologischer Folge seine wichtigsten Werke, bekannt unter dem Begriff "Minimal Music" und vielleicht der originellste amerikanische Beitrag zur Neuen Musik des 20. Jahrhunderts (Begründung der Jury des Preises der deutschen Schallplattenkritik, Lothar Prox) A drummer-turned-composer, Steve Reich has produced some of the most vibrant, original and interesting music of our time, with influences as varied as Bach, Stravinsky, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, and Balinese and Ghanaian percussion. His technique of phasing (short, repeating patterns moving in and out of phase with each other), used first in It s Gonna Rain of 1965, formed the springboard for his complex and colourful style, with its intoxicating melodic lines and rhythmic patterns. In Phase to Face, we follow Steve Reich as he travels from the Autumn in Normandy festival to Rome (with the Italian musicians of Ars Ludi, the Ready-Made Ensemble, Coro Ha-Kol and Quartetto Prometeo), to Tokyo, to New York, and to Manchester for the world premiere of 2X5.
