‘Good music is good music, and most music is not!’ As he hits 90, master minimalist Steve Reich looks back | Steve Reich | The Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/music/2026/sep/22/steve-reich-turns-90-interview

'Alongside his US contemporaries Philip Glass, Terry Riley and La Monte Young, Reich was one of the pioneers of musical minimalism. Its repetitive licks, driving rhythms and tonal-ish harmonies have since become the lingua franca of new waves of contemporary classical music, electronic dance music, film soundtracks and more. Reich dislikes the label but explains minimalism to me as “an intuitive movement towards what we wanted to hear. We loved Stravinsky and Bartók and jazz – and were appreciating Bob Dylan and listening to African and Indian music.”'
