Steve Reich I Place The Eternal Before Me - Shiviti Hashem

Uploaded by: flowerpunkchip
Video Description:
Full version. Shiviti Hashem L'Negdi (I Place The Eternal Before Me is on Steve Reich's album "you are"
This video celebrates the female body shape form and love making. The female form/shape has driven me insane for many years. Steve Reich's saintly music fits perfectly to express this fact in my little self obsessed art video.
I deeply apologize if this video offends anyone, but as you know, if you don't like it, don't watch it.

Do not worry, you do not see any genitalia here, but love making and sex should be celebrated instead of being censored.
Same goes for brothels, they should be made legal for men and women.

Steve Reich's style of composition has influenced many other composers and musical groups, including Philip Glass (especially his early pieces), John Adams, the progressive rock band King Crimson, the new-age guitarist Michael Hedges, the art-pop and electronic musician Brian Eno, the composers associated with the Bang on a Can festival (including David Lang, Michael Gordon, and Julia Wolfe), and numerous indie rock musicians including songwriter Sufjan Stevens and instrumental ensembles The Mercury Program, Tortoise, So Many Dynamos, Do Make Say Think and A Silver Mt. Zion.[citation needed] Godspeed You Black Emperor composed a song, unreleased, entitled "Steve Reich". His music has also been a source of inspiration to ambient and techno musicians. A melodic line from his 1987 work Electric Counterpoint was used by The Orb in their 1991 hit Little Fluffy Clouds. This connection has been honored in a 1999 album by DJs and electronic musicians, Reich Remixed, released on Nonesuch Records. Reich's Come Out and
It's Gonna Rain are cited as early examples of how minimalist music evolved in tandem with advances in technology, and have served as templates for the application of loops and delay in contemporary electronic dance music. An additional parallel between Reich's work and that of electronic dance music artists is an emphasis on a minimum of form (as opposed to a minimum of material) in which sonic elements such as timbre and texture are used to 'amass' sound in a vertical direction. Massification has, in fact, evolved into a movement of electronic dance music in which extreme densities are created with a relatively limited number of sonic elements. This evolution echoes similar developments in Reich's work, as he and other minimalist composers moved from simplicity to more complex combinations of pulses and polyrhythms. Electronic dance music practitioners have also adopted the "rhythm as melody" aesthetic that Reich embraced after studying West African drumming in Ghana and encountering the "chiming" timbres p
roduced by Indonesian gamelan orchestras.
John Adams commented, "He didn't reinvent the wheel so much as he showed us a new way to ride." He has also influenced visual artists such as Bruce Nauman, and has expressed admiration of choreographer Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker's work set to his pieces.
Reich often cites Pérotin, J.S. Bach, Debussy and Stravinsky as composers he admires, whose tradition he wished as a young composer to become part of. Jazz is a major part of the formation of Reich's musical style, and two of the earliest influences on his work were vocalists Ella Fitzgerald and Alfred Deller, whose emphasis on the artistic capabilities of the voice alone with little vibrato or other alteration was an inspiration to his earliest works. John Coltrane's style, which Reich has described as "playing a lot of notes to very few harmonies", also had an impact; of particular interest was the album Africa/Brass, which "was basically a half-an-hour in F." Reich's influence from jazz includes its roots, also, from the West African music he studied in his readings and visit to Ghana. Other important influences are Kenny Clarke and Miles Davis, and visual artist friends such as Sol Lewitt and Richard Serra.
I truly think some of his music is pure genius unlike my video
