Today's new episode of The Tonearm Podcast features composer and multi-instrumentalist Erik Hall discussing 'Solo Three,' the concluding chapter of his trilogy of solo reinterpretations of contemporary classical works. Hall talks about how a chance encounter with Steve Reich's Music for 18 Musicians in a college library set the course for his entire musical life — and how, decades later, a suggestion from his wife turned that obsession into a recording project that Reich himself called a reinvention of the piece.Hall also walks us through the making of 'Solo Three,' which brings together works by Glenn Branca, Charlemagne Palestine, Laurie Spiegel, and Reich, and discusses what it means to perform every part live, without loops or sequencers.Don't miss this fascinating episode of The Tonearm Podcast: https://podcast.thetonearm.com/erik-hall-multitracking-the-minimalist-aesthetic/#Podcast #Minimalism #MinimalistMusic #SteveReich
