#3201: "Shift" and Remixes
For this New Sounds, we’ll listen to a rendering of of Steve Reich’s early classic piece, “Drumming” by the music producer Chris Hughes (Tears for Fears, Adam & the Ants) from a reissue of the well-kept “secret” 1994 record, "Shift." It’s an homage to Reich, where Hughes reworks “Drumming,” shifting its interlocking patterns and their evolutions to different sound sources – mesmerizing gamelan sequences, and loops and other melodic percussion.
Plus, from a tribute sampler, hear remixes of Meredith Monk’s music by both DJ Spooky and Gabriel Prokofiev (yes - grandson of Sergei).
