Pendulum Music
“Even when all the cards are on the table […] there are still enough mysteries …”
[Steve Reich]
Pendulum Music (for microphones, amplifiers speakers and performers) is a work by Steve Reich, involving suspended microphones and speakers, creating phasing feedback tones. The piece was composed in August 1968 and revised in May 1973, and is an example of process music.
