- Summary
- An interview with composer Steve Reich regarding John Cage and Merce Cunningham. The material begins with closeups of Reichs piano, paper and audiovisual archive, and handwritten sheet music, as well as his playback machine. Reich begins by discussing his initial meeting with John Cage in the 1970s (3:15). He then speaks about Cages influence on his own work and his collaboration with Cage on a project (4:15). Reich then considers the use of repetition in both his work and Cages, which moves into discussion about his shifting attitude toward Cages pieces over time (10:20). A consideration of the use and influence of world oral traditions, classical music/composers and poetry in Reichs and Cages works follows (17:24). Reich concludes the interview by giving his thoughts on the collaboration between Cage and Merce Cunningham, as well as a collaborative project on which he was then working (25:00).
