Program 602: From Reich to Ra in 40 minutes
KALW Broadcast Date: May 29, 2020 | Host: Mark Abramson
From Steve Reich to Sun Ra in 40 short minutes! In this program we take a free-associative approach to experimental music. Starting with some of Steve Reich’s work for mallet instruments, we found some electronic music that shared elements of Reich’s approach and then let our mind wander from track to track using connections that made sense…at the time!
