stuart from nyc ... indeed Mr Reich and Mr Glass have shared a stage and an LP record. Philip Glass is playing organ on the recording of Steve's 'Phase Patterns' and 'Four Organs' on the Shandar label.

interesting that citydweller has already proven my initial thought which is with more cell phones and dwindling landlines, that "off the hook" tone that is so iconic to me will probably become more and more unrecognizable as more people have never had home hardwired phones.

Mr Reich, My boyfriend went to hear you speak a couple of weeks ago and came home saying how down to earth you were and how much he enjoyed your talk.

I have not heard much of your music, but after hearing even a small bit today, I can see what my boyfriend finds so fascinating about it. It feels very real. Very thoughtful. It's great to be able to hear you speak about where it's generated from. Thanks.

Interesting piece, but was kind of driving me crazy.

Did you just say this was based on sounds that flight controller computers make when a plane is going off course?

I need to save this number for my upcoming compilation, "Stress-Generating Songs".

Please ask Mr Reich if he ever had drinks or shared a stage with Philip Glass.

just wondering...
