anyone know where this audio is from?

You're welcome Allegro! And now for something completely..... minimal:

Latest video...

chatted briefly with the fellow, nice guy, I asked if he had a song he'd like to see a video for, and suggested this one. Finally I got around to finishing the idea I had months ago!
the main clockwise rotator goes around 9 times, the counterclockwise goes around 11 times...

Beautifully dark.... fitting for the 11th anniversary I suppose

and continuing with the minimal music, here's David Borden from Cornell University with some of his best work to date (in my opinion), in collaboration with a video artist and dancers -- fantastic!



12 videos in playlist (including the video above).

^^^ Oh wow, thank you! One of my favorite drummers!

The following is something I just stumbled upon when looking into the percussion group who performed the Reich "Sextet" piece above -- Amadinda Percussion Group, from Hungary. This really got me smiling and laughing!

[ninakat]

from the comments: The process Steve Reich is using in this piece is called "phasing." The rhythmic pattern is the same throughout the entire piece, but it is shifted over an eighth note every time the piece phases. For more information on this compositional technique, check out the Wikipedia article on "Phasing." None of this piece is improvised. All of the parts are memorized and the players decide how long they play a pattern before continuing to the next pattern.

Lil Abner.

I remember that film.

Quite a sophisticated satire.

It was based on a comic strip.
