Steve Reich - Violin Phase (1967)

for multi-channel pre-recorded tape and violin Emily Graber (violin) Performance at the CCRMA Spring Concert Bing Studio, Stanford. May 28, 2013 More info and concert program: https://ccrma.stanford.edu/events/ccrma-spring-concert-1 from the program note: Violin Phase, by Steve Reich, was written in 1967 for violin and pre-recorded tape or four violins. The texture is created by the gradual phasing of a single phrase that loops continuously throughout the piece. By the end, three violins (or tapes) sustain the phased incarnations of the phrase while the fourth violin highlights the resultant melodies. This performance also features spatialization in 24 channels.
