adams & reich concert

last night, nov 7 i had a great chance to see 'adams & reich', a concert of a close friend of PLATOON KUNSTHALLE pianist jong-hwa park.

park played john adams’ 'grand pianola music' (1981) and steve reich’s 'city life for amplified ensemble' (1995) together with christopher lee, snu new music ensemble and timf ensemble. adams & reich are both famously known as minimalist musicians.

although this genre of music is based mostly in consonant harmony; simple and limited units played in endless circle, it creates very interesting sound and rhythm. it's almost like you can visualize the music while listening. ahh.. the beauty of simplicity!
