- T minus 2 weeks

So I got a free ticketto the National Concert Hall's perfomance of the works of Steve Reich. I read about this guy a lot in http://www.thewire.co.uk/ and had freinds who recomended him to me so off i went on my tod on sunday night.

It turned out to be a 2 hour gig with about 4 pieces being played. Yep.. looooong pieces of music. But there very nature meant them to be like that as they followed a lot of the patterns of modern electronica. Repetitive loops, building harmonics and that trippy lost-in-time feeling the listener gets. If i had to compare the music to the more familar computer-based stuff i listen to it would be Warp's Autechre for sure. Many melodies layered and twisted with sudden changes that carried the mood into higher imaginings. Breath-taking.

If you were like superman and were able to fly around the worlds natural wonders at your own pace, the Rockies, the artic, rainforests and savanah.... this is what you'd play on your sPod. Which reminds me.. i must do that very thing with Google Earth later on. I\'ve no Steve Reich on my work PC but i'll fish out something to fill the gap... soem Boards of Canada maybe.

This is where i'm going in under weeks.......note that i've moved Ireland nearby for scale. Hope i didn;t cause to much flooding.. mwahah ha ha!!!
