Steve Reich was on New Sounds on Friday to discuss his new piece, Reich/Richter. The piece premiered as part of Reich Richter Pärt, a live performance-exhibition pairing works by Gerhard Richter with the new Reich piece and extant work by Arvo Pärt, at The Shed in NYC on Saturday; performances continue there through June 2. You can hear the episode, which also includes "Valencia," from Caroline Shaw's forthcoming album, Orange, performed by Attacca Quartet, here.
Reich Richter Pärt, a live performance-exhibition pairing works by Gerhard Richter with a new composition for large ensemble by Steve Reich and extant work by Arvo Pärt, debuts at The Shed in NYC this Saturday, April 6, for the new venue's Opening Weekend. The Reich/Richter collaboration examines the intersection between Richter's formula for his "Patterns" series and Reich's repeating musical structures in a genre-crossing moving picture work made with filmmaker Corinna Belz. Ensemble Signal and the International Contemporary Ensemble, in alternation, give live performances of Reich/Richter through June 2.

About This Album
These groundbreaking pieces from the mid-‘60s / early ‘70s, which utilize tape loops and Reich’s pioneering “phasing” technique, not only inspired the minimalist movement but also influenced generations of sound-sampling pop and electronic artists. The Washington Post calls them “absolutely spellbinding.”
