When I saw this live, the musicians simply kept their instruments held out as they finished the last notes. The audience was so floored that no one moved a muscle or made a sound for probably 30 whole seconds. When someone began to clap, the musicians finally put their instruments down and bowed, and there was the longest and most energetic standing ovation I have ever seen in a performance. Honestly life changing

This is the musical equivalent of scratching your back in just the right place.

I saw Music for 18 Musicians live in San Francisco many years ago. After it was over, the audience was so in awe, so mesmerized, nobody clapped. We just sat in silence letting the residual impact wash over us. Slowly, one by one we started to clap, which became a thunderous standing ovation. One of the most amazing musical experiences of my life.

This shit is like architecture for the ears.

Those bass clarinet pulses are everything for this piece

I religiously use this piece as a timer. For work, commuting, assignments, or just waiting. I can pretty much tell what time it is based on what section is playing. This is the one piece of music that has yet to get old to me. Daily - for the last 5 years.

I've been a fan of this music for 40 years but have never seen it performed. Big thanks to everyone involved in getting this on YouTube and making it available to a wide audience. This is transcendent music.

Plot twist: audience claps for 1 hour

This is, without a doubt, my favorite orchestral piece (That's not a score) I've ever heard. The emotions it captures, the joy, the intrigue, the wonder, the fact that we are alive to be here... It truly is amazing. I easily imagine listening to this whilst looking at the cosmos. Galaxies, nebulae, the stars, planets, asteroids, black holes...
The infinite abyss ... You stare at it, and it stares back.
It is awesome, terrifying, and beautiful... I am thankful that we are here to see it.

I love the conclusion. It just dies away without a climax or dramatic finale back into the universe....

This is what i imagine mathematics of the universe and existence would sound like.

I asked my girlfriend what this sounds like the first time she heard it. She said it sounds like interplanetary research. And I couldn't argue because that sounds about right.

Every now and then, I fall into a sort of pit. Maybe you, too, thinking of all the suffering, not just in your own life, but in all the lives of the people you see (and sometimes, the many that you don't). It's an abrasive force grinding down the soul, hurting with an easy melancholy and weariness that come almost by default. And every now and then, I'm lucky enough to come back to Reich's pieces, and music alike, that lift me from that pit. I think it's saved my life on a few occasions now. I hope more composers-to-be are inspired by his work, perhaps creating music in turn that might lift up and save a human life.

I've listened to this piece of music at least 300 times. Really. During a difficult time in my life I played this during a 2 hr drive to visit to visit a friend. Played it round trip and made that trip many times. During that same time period I used earbuds and fell asleep to it and it continued to play during my sleep and in my dreams. I did that for about six months. In 1995 I interviewed Steve Reich, a story for a local magazine; Chronos Quartet was coming to our town to play Different Trains. I was broke at the time that I couldn't spend the money to get the CD and hear the piece and I'm not a musician or musically educated. I'm sure I came off as a bumpkin. Wish to this day that I'd lead with: "I'm a great admirer of your work, Mr. Reich but I have to confess that I can barely read music and can't play an instrument, so please excuse me if I ask some naive questions." I did ask some dumb things, a couple maybe, like repeating a question: Did the movie "Shoah" influence "Different Trains"? He'd said 'no' and explained so why did my mouth open to let out that idiot beast of a question again, Shoah...? He called me on that, too, irritated.
I asked him if his work might have some inspiration in Eastern religions. His work sounds like exactly how the Universe works, how it unfolds. Dancing in the quantum foam. He told me that he'd been influenced by Wittgenstein and phenomenology but it was simply too complex to go into. And then he talked about it for at least 5 minutes, a long time for such a narrow topic in an interview like this.
I should have stolen the money to buy the CD and prepared myself to ask intelligent questions. Not that it was terrible, by no means. A treat. And I still think his music describe how our cosmos unfolds in play.

the first hour after my child was born, i played this album in the hospital room with my wife. The first moments as parents, alone in this sunny room with our new little thing sleeping quietly. I recorded a video of this moment, and when i watch it now, 12 years later, with this music playing on the background on the video, i remember all the feelings and beauty of being a dad and giving life ! I wish all the best to everyone !
