How to Sound Like Steve Reich

[@maztik8r]

"I'm going through a Steve Reich phase"

[@lilgrin2164]

i also was some time ago, now i'm out of that phase

[@NahreSol]

😂😂😂

[@warbirdnut9269]

I keep going in and out of phase. Started listening to his stuff when Music for 18 Musicians came out. Keep coming back to him.

[@stephenqualiana9741]

I'm going through a Steve Reich phase shift.

[@windman808]

I hope this isn't a phase.

[@RickBeato]

Beautiful tribute and Birthday wish to Steve! It was great to hear clips of him speaking about his own musical concepts and techniques. I’m going to go back and listen to my Different Trains CD which I haven’t heard in years in honor of his birthday. Thanks Nahre!

[@NahreSol]

Thank you Rick!!

[@laxplanet6046]

Different trains is the first Steve Reich music I heard, my father used to play it when I was a kid.. It's amazingly powerful and emotive

[@nebudknedlik7215]

So funny and random to stumble upon you here, Rick! How about WMtSG - Electric counterpoint, 2x5 or Music for 18 musicians? :) Your fan, Martin

[@benjaminwoodrowmusic6070]

Cool to see you like Reich Rick!

[@moreaulerence-ler2531]

Philip Glass does the same thing over and over but changes his style like every decade.

[@hiZarki]

You're the most aesthethic channel ever. Not to mention the mindblowing content. Def on my top three, together with adam and jacob.

[@NahreSol]

🙏 I appreciate it thank you...

[@thesoundsmith]

Phil had to move, sore critic was throwing stones at the Glass house...

[@limpassieredechezpaul9948]

Edward Candle yeah can’t wait to hear Adam+Jacob+Nahre!

[@berndadams]

Pretty spot on Reich impression..

[@NahreSol]

Thank you!!!

[@Ohotoho]

I have to admit, I was completely unfamiliar with his music before this video. I am now well in the third consecutive hour of listening to his compositions. I came back here to thank you for this! :)

[@NahreSol]

So awesome!! 😀😀😀

[@tomzecat990]

When "How to Sound Like Nahre Sol"?

[@israco89]

You do videos about how to sound like other composers

[@jan_the_man]

Yeah I feel like Nahre has a really personal style

[@ANCMMX]

is she a composer?

[@darashayda1]

I agree with the sentiment, I like to sound like Nahre Sol

[@Kisuke323]

@@ANCMMX She is

[@roncolem5790]

I love how she's always challenging herself and the appreciation of other forms of music.(It's weird because i was just listening to Steve Reich:Variations for strings,woodwinds,and keyboards and Electric Counterpoint.

[@NahreSol]

Thank you 🙏🙏🙏

[@FabioBadalamentiComposer]

this is the best lesson on minimalist music I've ever heard

[@sisyphusvasilias3943]

How do make this "high art" music so easy to appreciate and enjoy Nahre??? You are such a great communicator.

[@NahreSol]

Thank you so much, I appreciate it 🙏🙏🙏

[@Bati_]

This incredibly enchanting work and video essay are so important in so many aspects that I don't know where to start! As a composer, sound scientist, and true iconoclastic Steve Reich has been always representing every part of modernist art and his effect on the music we listen today can never be underestimated. All the movie and game soundtracks, sampling based music, tape loops, art rock, ambient pieces and everything has something from Reich's music and his art has been always new and I think it will keep that freshness forever, maybe people from the future will find it incredibly new and refreshing, too! He's certainly one of the great composers whose creative output has significantly changed the way we understand the nature of music and my life itself has been changed by its influence a lot during many phases! As Anthony Davis said: "The most important contribution you can make to the tradition is to create your own music, create a new music." and Steve Reich has always delved into the hidden parts of the wonder of hearing! To me, he's a brain scientist who knows every unknown functional underpinnings of the brain and can manipulate the sound and composition the way he wants to create transition and impact! Many times, I found myself in a different state of consciousness when I listen to his music... This spirituality, this state of consciousness... I can't thank you enough for introducing all of these groundbreaking artists by staying true to your artistry Nahre! I think as the young generation of the world we need every single enlightenment and understanding and as a great artist and teacher you always try to create this impact by enlightening people's artistic lives! To me, the music of our era is transported by that element that is the general determinant of life and this is change! Everything is changing and you're always willing to be a part of this change by preserving Classical music heritage and this is more than important and influencing! As always, I really love the final piece which at the same time, shows your personality when being reminiscent of Reich's dynamic music! Thank you so much Nahre! The future needs visionary people like you and their iconoclastic works like your original music! 😊👏🧠🙏🎉🤯🚀❤️

[@NahreSol]

Thank you Bati!!!!!

[@TheEnabledSecondary]

I love that you got me into Steven Reich a bit back, I have loved him ever since, hope you're doing well nahre

[@NahreSol]

Cool! :))

[@samwisegrangee]

Steve Reich is one of my music heroes, (I wrote almost the entirety of my masters thesis to his Music For 18 Musicians ) and your arrangement is a beautiful tribute to his style. Great channel!

[@PugCuber]

this is really well done I played Clapping Music on Typewriter with my dad a few years ago and loved it. Since then I’ve absolutely fallen in love with Reich’s Music.

[@ennokarr]

Really cool arrangement and insight into one of our generations greatest musical thinkers. Thank you for the share.

[@AngleIron426]

This was lovely. Thank you. I saw Steve Reich and his ensemble perform once. At one point there was a problem with the sound system and after some discussion on stage Mr. Reich spoke to the audience with just his voice moving the air. He announced that given the absence of amplification they would perform a composition using wood blocks. They proceeded to fill the auditorium with the phasing poly-rhythms that you beautifully demonstrate. A local reviewer described the work as sounding like a "chorus of creepers." It was really good.

[@TheLuckySpades]

Was it music for pieces of wood? I really like that piece

[@monsthyness4616]

Brilliant! So musical, and very interesting analytically as well.

[@NahreSol]

Thank you!!!

[@jayhu2296]

actually got goosebumps when the pulsing piano chords came in

[@SkylarV5]

When that City Sounds melody came in at 2:46 I immediately remembered 2013 Bluecoats

[@n.e.campmore7337]

The Mr. Rogers clip + piano hands ÷ steve reich = endorphins 🐬

[@duncanparsons]

That blue poster on the wall at 3:18 - I went to that! It was at the Royal Festival Hall in London, 1992. One of the best gigs I've ever been to

[@Ermude10]

"How do you make music that makes you want to move, but not change your place?" So nicely put! I've always likened Reich's music to intricate gear trains or clockworks. EDIT: Even the removal of the hands are in sequence! Such attention to detail, Nahre! All of your work is so satisfying!

[@TomSistermans]

So happy you're doing more contemporary composers too, I hope there will be a Messiaen special for his 111th birthday in December

[@clayjohnson2618]

This guy is like my favorite modern composer

[@piggly-wiggly]

As a Steve Reich fan since the 1970s, I think that was an excellent piece of Reichian music and a lovely birthday tribute. So today I learned that Etude #2 is one of your top 5 classical piano compositions and that you're a Steve Reich fan. Be still my heart!

[@RasiRon]

Lovely and clear explanation and melodic example

[@frankspears4597]

Great analysis

[@NahreSol]

Thank you!!!

[@darashayda1]

Hello Ms. Sol, your piano and keyboard style and clarity is far beyond anyone else! I for one do not care about how to sound like some other guy. What makes your BRAND a unique is that your piano is unique and it is YOU, and it is one of the best. I hope I was not inappropriate in my language.

[@sandscribbler]

My introduction to Steve Reich was you playing Happy Birthday in his musical style - which I happened to watch at 11:00 p.m. on the night of my birthday! Now I can go to bed a little older and a little more cultured. (This style reminds me of listening to wind chimes - a limited palette of notes that changes its pattern over time.) Thanks, Nahre!

[@docdreux]

Awesome... I'm a huge fan of Steve Reich. Great explanation and your piece à la Steve Reich is, like we say in french, la cerise sur le gâteau.

[@Industrialist4Tech]

Beautiful und literal moving explanation. It really shows that Steve Reich is still timeless in 2024...

[@aviramspies]

one thing I always love in his works are his abrupt modulations, you are in this tonal zone of.. X key center, and suddenly you are transferred into a whole different world, to a brand new Y key center.

[@yohan1539]

It's so refreshing to see an analysis of some of the lesser known composers that I can really connect with. Thank you!

[@justDave3453]

Excellent exposition of Steve’s approach

[@the_listamin]

I had the luck of having a music teacher once give me a CD of Drumming by Steve Reich, changing my life forever. His music essentially taught me how to listen and gave me a ton of inspiration. Now I see why your style connects with me so much.

[@primitivepatterns]

shots fired at french rock n roll

[@gehteuchnichtsan7911]

yooo you nailed that Steve Reich style Happy Birthday so perfectly! love it.

[@SilentNote]

NAHRE SOL !!! That's CINEMATIC!!! I LOVE IT !!! I could even recognise some "fragments of the Happy Birthday main theme" there !!! WELL DONE !!!

[@BettyAlexandriaPride]

I'm definitely going to watch this more than once. Very enlightening.

[@lyckstolp]

Aah, the sounds are so lovely! Reich really is one of my all time favourite musicians/composers, and it's so great to see one of my favourite KZbinrs make a video about his distinctive sounds! Thank you so much!!

[@NahreSol]

Thank you!!

[@PhiloopaBell]

Just discovered your videos 4 in the morning and I have never been so at peace. Thank you for your content.

[@phomchick]

This video is simply amazing. You correctly analyze the .elements of Reich’s style, and then you do it. What a marvelous tribute.

[@NahreSol]

Thank you 🙏

[@thomasmcgill6918]

All of your videos are little movies with beautiful production. Love it and Thank you again.

[@lowandodor1150]

Every human being should experience "Music for 18 Musicians" live at least once in their lifetime.

[@crystal130h]

I remember the prof playing Reich's "It's Gonna Rain" in a music history class in college. That was over forty years ago! It amazes me to find that he is still alive and has been busy composing all these years.

[@NahreSol]

Wow so cool!!

[@guy_you_can_trust]

thank you for doing this

[@NahreSol]

Thank you !! 😊

[@dopplerfox]

Your composition at the end blows my mind! I'm a huge fan of Reich; he's made a huge impact on the way I like to compose my music, but your ability to create in his style is impossibly brilliant.

[@MrRelax3737]

Nahre, YOU are an amazing talent.......and an effective teacher. Thank you for your music......it's inspiring. Doug G in LV

[@barbermot]

This video opened up a new world for me. Thank you.

[@antoniopola542]

Congratulations, very well done, you really captured the Reich's mood

[@КатеринаМирон-е4л]

The example at the end - soooooo gooood. great job!

[@erikokarisme]

Your video was listed in the material suggested by our 2nd year university teacher to learn on minimal repetitive music. Learning through your video is a real treat. Thank you so much for having made my homework night a pleasant moment.

[@colingerard7863]

Hi Nahre. I saw Steve Reich in London and the concert is in my top ten of concerts I've been to (Vlado Perlemuter at the Wigmore Hall in his white DJ is also in my top ten). This is wonderful. Plus, I like your exploration of music in your videos. Enjoy the rest of your week. Many smiles and all that stuff.

[@educastelito]

Thank you for educating me on Steve Reich. First time I heard him was on a Ann Marie De Kiemaker performance, I felt entranced by his compositions. Love your videos Nahre!

[@dudeabides6522]

Thank you Nahre!!! Plus I love your Birthday song.

[@marinoscarpa895]

I remember playing the 1st piano part for dance patterns in the conservatory, it was my first time ever hearing of Steve Reich, I fell in love

[@RTKdarling]

Your videos aren't just a lesson and study of music, but of editing and visual language as well. Watching your channel has given me a better musical vocabulary, which is leading to a deeper appreciation of classical music.Thank you for these gifts, your work is inspiring.

[@netuno60]

Good, clear and beautiful! Thank you Nahre Sol.

[@paulogusmaoguedes4409]

Excellent presentation and accurate (style-wise) Happy Birthday arrangement. It really sounds like a Reich piece. Nice to see (below) that RIck Beato's tastes also extend to this music. Congratulations!

[@wsegal]

Awww, Nahre, I'm always so happy when you release a new video-extra great to see one that also includes Fred Rogers. Thanks for a smile.

[@johnwade7430]

Lovely Birthday piece.

[@maxmakesfilms69]

Thanks for making the videos that you do! I really love how your perspectives on various genres and composers really break down the methodology and theory of these composers or styles into something quite relatable and easy to grasp. I wish I had the practical prowess to actually play some of the pieces you've made but, at least I can appreciate the music and where it's coming from :)

[@NahreSol]

Thank you 🙏

[@MrRelax3737]

As always--------EXCELLENT!! Thank you Nahre, you are a wonderful teacher.

[@omarbrunson1529]

Beautiful. Thank you for sharing this gift.

[@rishabhthakur7559]

Wow, Nahre. This is so well done. This has come at quite a perfect time for me as I have just had my first listen to his music just a few days ago. Electric Counterpoint was the composition. I can't wait to listen to more of his music.

[@NahreSol]

Thank you!! Electric Counterpoint is great -- I like Pat Metheny's recording, I just heard it recently too...

[@Digithalis]

All of your videos are so great dear nahre, thank you for sharing :-)

[@NahreSol]

Thank you!!!
