A live performance of four early works by Steve Reich: "Four Organs," "My Name Is," "Piano Phase," and "Phase Patterns." This 1970 performance marked an important moment in Bay Area new music history with the triumphant return to the East Bay by Reich, who studied at Mills College with Luciano Berio and performed the 1964 world premiere of Terry Riley's seminal In C at the San Francisco Tape Music Center.
The resonant acoustics of the University of California at Berkeley Art Museum's concrete interior were especially appropriate for "Four Organs", with its long additive sustained chords over a maraca pulse.
180-gram LP. Black vinyl. Limited edition of 500.
