Happy Birthday Mr. Reich - Disquiet Junto Project 0249: 80 Phases by rizzi published on 2016-10-07T07:41:34Z One for the Disquiet Junto in celebration of Steve Reich. - not much to say - tried to show my appreciation and use the It's gonna Rain technique on the ending of my tribute. Disquiet Junto Project 0249: 80 Phases Wish the minimalist composer Steve Reich a happy birthday. Major thanks to Neil Stringfellow for proposing and helping to craft this project. Project Steps: Step 1: October 3 marked the 80th birthday of composer Steve Reich. Prepare to record a tribute to him. Step 2: Select a short segment of sound or music that can be looped and, per Reich’s own technique, “phased.” Fortunately, the song “Happy Birthday” has entered the public domain. Consider using it. Step 3: Take the segment from Step 2 and play it on repeat, layering the loop with slightly different timing to create a phasing effect. Play around with this, editing the loops until you have some successful or interesting sounds/accidents. Step 4: Add some extra sounds or textures if you think the piece needs it.
