As part of our Steve Reich at 90 weekend, you can hear three of his best-known works in a completely different way.
Phase Pattern Pulse places you at the centre of the music. Using 360° spatial audio, it opens up the layers inside Reich’s compositions, so rhythms, harmonies and repeating patterns move around you instead of staying on a stage.
Take a seat in Northern Rock Foundation Hall and spend an hour inside Drumming, Music for 18 Musicians or The Sextets. Whether you already know Reich’s music or you’re hearing it for the first time, you’ll discover details that are easy to miss in a live performance.
Created by Loss >< Gain and Colin Currie Group, Phase Pattern Pulse is co-commissioned by The Glasshouse International Centre for Music and Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities.
